NCIt related terms : 1-isothiocyanato-4-methylsulfinyl-butane;
NCIt definition : A naturally-occurring phytochemical belonging to the class of isothiocyanates. As
the aglycone metabolite of glucosinolate glucoraphanin (sulforaphane glucosinolate),
sulforaphane acts as an antioxidant and potent stimulator of endogenous detoxifying
enzymes. This agent displays anticarcinogenic properties due to its ability to induce
phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S-transferase and quinone reductase,
thereby providing protection against certain carcinogens and toxic, reactive oxygen
species. Broccoli sprouts contain large amounts of sulforaphane, which is also found
in other cruciferous vegetables including cabbage and kale. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : CRCH: An isothiocyanate with a methylsulphinyl butane chain. The chemical structure
