In vitro activity of isothiocyanates against Fusarium graminearum [PDF]

, 2021
Isothiocyanates are biotoxic degradation products formed as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates present in Brassica species. The application of biofumigant Brassica crops, as an alternative crop protection method for soil-borne pathogens ...

Glucosinolates From Cruciferous Vegetables and Their Potential Role in Chronic Disease: Investigating the Preclinical and Clinical Evidence

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
An increasing body of evidence highlights the strong potential for a diet rich in fruit and vegetables to delay, and often prevent, the onset of chronic diseases, including cardiometabolic, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions, and certain ...

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

Haematologica, 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 ...

Myrosinase-dependent and –independent formation and control of isothiocyanate products of glucosinolate hydrolysis.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Brassicales contain a myrosinase enzyme that hydrolyzes glucosinolates to form toxic isothiocyanates, as a defense against bacteria, fungi, insects and herbivores including man.

Volatile composition, antidiabetic, and anti-obesity potential of Brassica incana leaf and flowering top extracts

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2022
Context Brassica incana Ten. (Brassicaceae) is an edible plant with very limited available information. Previous studies have demonstrated the polyphenolic profile and the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of the leaf and flowering top hydroalcoholic ...

Broccoli consumption interacts with GSTM1 to perturb oncogenic signalling pathways in the prostate [PDF]

, 2008
Epidemiological studies suggest that people who consume more than one portion of cruciferous vegetables per week are at lower risk of both the incidence of prostate cancer and of developing aggressive prostate cancer but there is little understanding of ...

A Lesson Learnt from Food Chemistry—Elevated Temperature Triggers the Antioxidant Action of Two Edible Isothiocyanates: Erucin and Sulforaphane

Antioxidants, 2020
In this communication we demonstrate that two natural isothiocyanates, sulforaphane (SFN) and erucin (ERN), inhibit autoxidation of lipids at 140 °C but not below 100 °C.

‘Kombucha’-like Beverage of Broccoli By-Products: A New Dietary Source of Bioactive Sulforaphane

Beverages, 2023
The objective of this work is the development of a new fermented beverage (‘kombucha’-like), enriched with broccoli by-products as an ingredient, a source of organosulfur compounds, which could be biotransformed into more bioaccessible, bioavailable, and

Plant sulphur nutrition influencing host-plant selection and performance of insect herbivores [PDF]

, 2003
In the past several years, sulphur (S) deficiencies in agricultural crops have been reported with increasing frequency and therefore more interest has been directed into plant nutrition and fertilisation with particular respect to this element.

Glucosinolate-derived isothiocyanates impact mitochondrial function in fungal cells and elicit an oxidative stress response necessary for growth recovery

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Glucosinolates are brassicaceous secondary metabolites that have long been considered as chemical shields against pathogen invasion. Isothiocyanates, are glucosinolate-breakdown products that have negative effects on the growth of various fungal species.
