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

Nanodelivery of Natural Isothiocyanates as a Cancer Therapeutic.
Free Radical Biology & Medicine, 2021 Natural isothiocyanates (ITCs) are phytochemicals abundant in cruciferous vegetables with the general structure, R-N=C=S. They are bioactive organosulfur compounds derived from the hydrolysis of glucosinolates by myrosinase.

Cooking Methods for Preserving Isothiocyanates and Reducing Goitrin in Brassica Vegetables
Foods, 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.
