Current Methods for the Extraction and Analysis of Isothiocyanates and Indoles in Cruciferous Vegetables

open access: yesAnalytica, 2021
Cruciferous vegetables are characterized by the presence of sulfur-containing secondary plant metabolites known as glucosinolates (GLS). The consumption of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, rocket salad, and cauliflower has been related ...

Isothiocyanates: a review [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Journal of Pharmacognosy, 2018
Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are naturally occurring molecules belonging to highly reactive organosulphur synthons, with the general structure R–N=C=S. The precursor molecule glucosinolate anions are hydrolyzed enzymatically (under the effect of myrosinase ...

Benefits and risks of the hormetic effects of dietary isothiocyanates on cancer prevention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The isothiocyanate (ITC) sulforaphane (SFN) was shown at low levels (1-5 µM) to promote cell proliferation to 120-143% of the controls in a number of human cell lines, whilst at high levels (10-40 µM) it inhibited such cell proliferation.

Glucosinolates and Isothiocyantes in Processed Rapeseed Determined by HPLC-DAD-qTOF

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Glucosinolates are well known as natural antimicrobials and anticarcinogenic agents. However, these compounds can lose their properties and transform into antinutrients, depending on processing conditions.

Variation and Distribution of Glucosinolates in 42 Cultivars of Brassica oleracea Vegetable Crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Brassica vegetables are known to contain glucosinolates that are precursors for bioactive compounds like isothiocyanates that have been shown to play an important role in human health. This study reports the results of a screening of 11 Brassica oleracea

Chemical Priming by Isothiocyanates Protects Against Intoxication by Products of the Mustard Oil Bomb

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In Brassicaceae, tissue damage triggers the mustard oil bomb i.e., activates the degradation of glucosinolates by myrosinases leading to a rapid accumulation of isothiocyanates at the site of damage.

Assessment of Methodological Pipelines for the Determination of Isothiocyanates Derived from Natural Sources

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Isothiocyanates are biologically active secondary metabolites liberated via enzymatic hydrolysis of their sulfur enriched precursors, glucosinolates, upon tissue plant disruption. The importance of this class of compounds lies in their capacity to induce

Cooking Methods for Preserving Isothiocyanates and Reducing Goitrin in Brassica Vegetables

open access: yesFoods, 2023
Glucosinolates in Brassica vegetables can be hydrolyzed into various products, e.g., chemopreventive agents, isothiocyanates (ITCs) and anti-thyroid substance, goitrin. Cooking can reduce goitrin but destroy isothiocyanates.

Anti-tumor activity and signaling events triggered by the isothiocyanates, sulforaphane and phenethyl isothiocyanate, in multiple myeloma

open access: yesHaematologica, 2011
Background Isothiocyanates, a family of phytochemicals found in cruciferous vegetables, have cytotoxic effects against several types of tumor cells. Multiple myeloma is a fatal disease characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone ...
