DIM-C-pPhtBu is an orally active endoplasmic reticulum stress activator. DIM-C-pPhtBu induces mitochondrial and lysosome dysfunction, excessive mitosis, ROS production, and unfolded protein response-mediated cell death in neck cancer cells. DIM-C-pPhtBu has antitumor activity[1].

DIM-C-pPhtBusimilar to other C-DIMsexhibits a broad range of anticancer and antitumorigenic activities against multiple tumor types. DIM-C-pPhtBu causes apoptotic cell death of KB cells by activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress through induction of CHOP protein th at is associated with the apoptosis in human oral cancer cells. Also it appears to induce an autophagic cell death in drug-resistant ER-negative breast tumors.
