3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM, 1) and its derivatives have been prepared, and their enhancing effects on chemically-induced HL-60 cell differentiation were analyzed. Among the prepared compounds, IndDIM (12) showed the most potent enhancing effect on HL-60 cell differentiation induced by chemicals, including retinoids, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate and dimethyl sulfoxide.
