Project Information Profile at a glance

  • Isothiocyanates are largely found locked in the form of glucosinolates and are found largely in cruciferous vegetables such as brocolli and Brussels sprouts, as well as in wasabi and watercress.
  • Isothiocyanates, such as phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and sulforaphane, have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis and tumorigensis and as such are useful chemopreventive agents against the development and proliferation of cancers.
  • Allyl isothiocyanate serves the plant as a defense against herbivores; since it is harmful to the plant itself, it is stored in the harmless form of the glucosinolate, separate from the myrosinase enzyme.
  • Cruciferous vegetables are rich in isothiocyanates, which are believed to be the compounds responsible for warding off cancer. Isothiocyanates are eliminated in the body by an enzyme called GST, which is produced by GSTM1 and GSTT1. Therefore, people who have inactive forms of these genes have higher concentrations of isothiocyanates.
  • A method of preparing products including pharmaceutical compositions, food or drink products, supplements or additives, skin or hair products, and agricultural products which contain isothiocyanate oil extracted from glucosinolate-containing plants.
  • No serious adverse effects of isothiocyanates in humans have been reported. Although high dietary intakes of glucosinolates from cruciferous vegetables are not known to have adverse effects during pregnancy or lactation, there is no information on the safety of purified isothiocyanates or supplements containing high doses of glucosinolates and/or isothiocyanates during pregnancy or lactation in humans.
