Many dietary constituents, such as indole-3-carbinol, are chemoprotective in toxicity and carcinogenicity bioassays. Indole-3-carbinol and related congeners appear to protect partly via radical and electrophile scavenging. To develop better chemoprotective indoles with lower intrinsic toxicity, we performed molecular graphic and
