Various secondary metabolites from plants, bacteria and fungi are redox active and able to
modulate the intracellular redox equilibrium in living cells. Many of these compounds …

BACKGROUND: Isothiocyanates are phytochemicals with a broad array of effects in
biological systems. Bioactivity includes the stimulation of cellular antioxidant systems …

Cellular redox status has been considered as a focal point for the pathogenesis of multiple
disorders. High and persistent levels of free radicals kick off inflammation and associated …

Isothiocyanates are phytochemicals with anti-cancer properties that include the ability to
trigger apoptosis. A substantial body of evidence suggests that reaction of the electrophilic …

Isothiocyanates (ITCs), a class of phytochemicals with promising cancer-preventive
potential, are double-edged swords in the modulation of cellular oxidative stress. While ITCs …

The edible plants garlic (Allium sativum) and broccoli (Brassica olevacea) are rich in sulfur-
containing compounds that are reported to offer protection against a number of diseases …

Tumours exhibit higher basal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and altered redox
environment compared to normal cells. Excessive level of ROS can be toxic to these cells …

Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and watercress, have been studied extensively
aiming to evaluate their chemopreventive properties. Some of them have already been …

Redox homeostasis is frequently dysregulated in human disease, particularly cancer.
Recent and ongoing efforts seek to validate and extend this platform for the discovery …

In recent years, growing interest has been focused on the field of chemoprevention using
natural therapies. The reason to turn toward “natural” remedies is associated with diverse …
