Scientists believe that because the CDDO-Im compound is effective at very low doses, it can be used against human cancer, especially effective in preventing cancer originating from the effects. Strong infectious nucleus such as cancer of the liver, rectum, stomach and prostate.

CDDO-Im can also be highly effective against asthma, emphysema and neurodegenerative diseases. This compound is 100 times more effective than the currently used anti-cancer chemicals and can prevent the formation of cancer tumors by interfering with the cell's anti-inflammatory process through click Active Nrf2, a protein that plays a key role in protecting cells against toxic agents from the environment.

CDDO-Im compound belongs to a class of anticancer agents called triterpenoids. This substance is synthesized from oleanoic acid, a natural substance found in herbs.
