News About Sulphoraphane

07-SEPTEMBER-2008 03:17:44 - Sulforaphane Redirected from Sulphoraphane Sulforaphane IUPAC name 1-Isothiocyanato-4-methylsulfinylbutane Identifiers CAS number 4478-93-7 PubChem 5350 SMILES CS=OCCCCN=C=S InChI 1/C6H11NOS2/c1-10 85-3-2-4-7-6-9/h2- 5H2,1H3 Properties Molecular formula C6H11NOS2 Molar mass 177.29 g/mol Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state at 25 °C, 100 kPa Infobox references Sulforaphane is an anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial compound that can be obtained by eating cruciferous vegetables such as brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, collards, broccoli sprouts, chinese broccoli, broccoli raab, kohlrabi, mustard, turnip, radish, rocket, and watercress. The enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin a glucosinolate into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant such as from chewing. The young sprouts of broccoli and cauliflower are particularly rich in glucoraphanin. The anticancer activity of sulforaphane is thought to be related to the induction of phase-II enzymes of xenobiotic transformation such as quinone reductase and glutathione S-transferase, and enhancing the transcription of tumor suppressor proteins.citation needed Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore MD first identified sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts which, of the cruciferous vegetables, have the highest concentration of sulforaphane.1 Consumption of broccoli sprouts has shown to be effective at inhibiting Helicobacter pylori growth2 with sulforaphane being at least one of the active agents.3 Sulforaphane and diindolylmethane another compound from Brassica vegetables have recently been shown to synergize together in the inhibition of cancer growth. Optimal dosage has not yet been determined, but some doctors recommend 200 - 400 mcg of sulforaphane daily from broccoli-sprout extracts. Sulforaphane and dietary consumption of cruciferous vegetables are known to affect the action of drug-metabolizing enzymes.4 Although no side effects or direct drug interactions have been reported as of 2008, people taking prescription drugs are advised to consult a doctor before taking sulforaphane or broccoli-sprout extracts. Sulforaphane seems to protect skin against UV radiation damage, and thus potentially against cancer, when applied topically.5 Image:Glucoraphanin.png glucoraphanin → --R-sulforaphane References ^ Zhang Y, Talalay P, Cho CG, Posner GH.
