Isothiocyanates are the principal irritant constituents of the mustard oils found in many members of Brassicaceae (previously Cruciferae), the mustard family.

Broccoli and broccoli sprouts have the highest amount of the isothiocyanates. "Our paper focuses on the anti-cancer activity of one of these compounds, called sulforaphane, or SFN," Azarenko added.

Isothiocyanates, naturally occurring compounds derived from glucosinolate precursors in cruciferous vegetables, have emerged as promising agents in cancer chemoprevention.

Researchers at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center have demonstrated that naturally-occurring compounds can selectively deplete mutant p53 and restore ...

On the other hand, sulfur-containing compounds, such as isothiocyanates and polysulfides, which are found in many vegetables, are known to promote geometrical isomerization of carotenoids (e.g ...
