Isothiocyanates and Xenobiotic Detoxification
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2018AbstractThe potential of isothiocyanates to antagonize the carcinogenicity of structurally diverse chemicals has been established in animals. A feasible mechanism of action involves protecting DNA by reducing the availability of the genotoxic metabolites of chemical carcinogens by either inhibiting their generation and/or stimulating their ...

Isothiocyanates in Cancer Prevention
Drug Metabolism Reviews, 2004Isothiocyanates are sulfur-containing compounds which are largely responsible for the typical flavor of cruciferous vegetables. In animals and humans they are conjugated with glutathione; the first product of this reaction is a dithiocarbamate, which can be ultimately metabolized to the corresponding mercapturic acid, excreted in urine.

The conjugate isothiocyanation of enones with trimethylsilyl isothioyanate provides excellent yields of β-isocyanato ketones under mild conditions, through a thermodynamically-controlled addition of the thiocyanate anion on the protonated enone.

The clastogenic effects of isothiocyanates
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, 1993Four isothiocyanates (ITCs), three of which are commonly found in the human diet, were tested for the ability to induce chromosome aberrations in an SV40-transformed Indian muntjac cell line. Whilst allyl ITC was found to be inactive the other three (benzyl ITC, phenethyl ITC and phenyl ITC) were found to be significant inducers of chromosome damage in

Genotoxic effects of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC)
Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2000Two isothiocyanates (ITCs) commonly found in human diet, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), were tested for genotoxic effects in a battery of assays: Salmonella/microsome assay with TA 98 and TA 100, differential DNA repair assay with E. coli and micronucleus (MN) induction assay with human derived Hep G2 cells. Albeit to

Biological targets of isothiocyanates
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2011Isothiocyanates are phytochemicals with a broad array of effects in biological systems. Bioactivity includes the stimulation of cellular antioxidant systems, induction of apoptosis and interference with cytokine production and activity. Epidemiological evidence and experimental studies indicate that naturally occurring isothiocyanates and synthetic ...

Inhibition of papain by isothiocyanates
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1976During the tapping of papaya latex for papain (EC 3.4.22.2), benzyl isothiocyanate is enzymatically produced from benzylglucosinolate, a major component of the latex fluid. Benzyl isothiocyanate inhibits papain hydrolysis of alpha-N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (Bz-Arg-OEt).

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of isothiocyanates
Drug Metabolism Reviews, 2011Isothiocyanates from Brassica vegetables are of great interest for use in the cure of bacterial infections, as is their potential application in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Although much information is available on their mode of action within the cell, when it comes to the question of whether the necessary pharmacologic concentration has ...

Tetraalkylammonium Uranyl Isothiocyanates
Inorganic Chemistry, 2012Three tetraalkylammonium uranyl isothiocyanates, [(CH(3))(4)N](3)UO(2)(NCS)(5) (1), [(C(2)H(5))(4)N](3)UO(2)(NCS)(5) (2), and [(C(3)H(7))(4)N](3)UO(2)(NCS)(5) (3), have been synthesized from aqueous solution and their structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All of the compounds consist of the uranyl cation equatorially coordinated to

Structure of isothiocyanate methemoglobin
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1981Abstract The structure of the complex of the ambidentate ligand thiocyanate with horse methemoglobin was compared with that of acid methemoglobin and azide methemoglobin by X-ray difference Fourier techniques. Thiocyanate is co-ordinated to iron exclusively by its nitrogen atom, and thus forms the isothiocyanate complex.
