This study reviewed aspects of the biology of two members of the glucosinolate family,
namely sinigrin and glucoraphanin and their anti-tumour and antimicrobial properties …

Sinigrin (allyl-glucosinolate or 2-propenyl-glucosinolate) is a natural aliphatic glucosinolate
present in plants of the Brassicaceae family, such as broccoli and brussels sprouts, and the …

Sulforaphane [SFN: 1-isothiocyanato-4-(methylsulfinyl) butane] belongs to the
isothiocyanate class of phytochemicals. Glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate precursor of SFN, is …

Glucosinolates are naturally abundant in many vegetable sources. These compounds have
limited health benefit in their original forms, however their derived product, sulforaphane …

Glucosinolates are an important and unique class of secondary plant products containing β-
D-thioglucose and sulphonated oxime moieties. These include thioglucosides …

The use of natural antimicrobial compounds is receiving much attention and is becoming
very frequent by the importance that nowadays is given to natural resources. Natural …

Glucosinolates (GSL) are naturally occurring β-d-thioglucosides found across the
cruciferous vegetables. Core structure formation and side-chain modifications lead to the …

Glucosinolate (GSL) hydrolysis is mediated by the enzyme myrosinase which together with
specifier proteins can give rise to isothiocyanates (ITCs), thiocyanates, and nitriles (NITs) in …

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are one of the many classes of breakdown products of glucosinolates
found in crucifers such as broccoli and are thought to be partially responsible for the …

Epidemiological studies suggest that brassica vegetables are protective against cancers of
the lungs and alimentary tract. Cruciferous vegetables are the dietary source of …
