Structure-activity relationships of 13C that mediate this anti-proliferative response were investigated using synthetic and natural 13C derivatives that contain substitutions at the indole nitrogen," scientists in the United States report. "Nitrogen substitutions included N-alkoxy substituents of one to four carbons in length, which inhibit dehydration and the formation of the reactive indolenine. Analysis of growth and cell cycle arrest of indole-treated human breast cancer cells...
