Because of its various potent anti-cancer properties, the National Cancer Institute of the United States has begun clinical trials of DIM as a therapeutic for numerous forms of cancer.citation needed Due to its innate immune modulating properties potentiation of Interferon-Gamma receptors and production,citation needed DIM is also under investigation as a treatment for a variety of viral infections and antibiotic resistant bacteria.citation needed As DIM has been demonstrated to synergize with Interferon-Gamma in the potentiation of the MHC-I Complex,citation needed it is currently also under investigation as an adjuvant to IFN-G treatment models for both cancer and viral infections such as HIV, HPV and Hepatitis. Biological Activities of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane Biological Activities of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane Uses DIM is currently used to treat Recurring Respiratory Papillomatosis, a rare respiratory disease with tumors in the upper respiratory tracts caused by the Human Papilloma Virus.citation needed DIM is additionally in Phase III clinical trials for Cervical dysplasia, a pre-cancerous condition also caused by the Human Papilloma Virus.citation needed Clinical trials DIM is in clinical trials as a treatment for numerous forms of cancer. It is being investigated as a potential treatment for a variety of viral and anti-biotic resistant bacterial infections, as well.
