In vitro metabolic conversion of the organic breakdown products of glucosinolate to goitrogenic thiocyanate anion.

J. Sci. Food Agric. 95 , 2244-51, (2015)

Glucosinolates are abundant in Brassicaceae vegetables, and they are degraded into various organic breakdown products (BPs) (R-CN, -NCS and -SCN) by myrosinase when plant tissues are damaged. This study was designed to investigate whether these BPs could be b...

Enhanced in vitro biological activity of synthetic 2-(2-pyridyl) ethyl isothiocyanate compared to natural 4-(methylsulfinyl) butyl isothiocyanate.

J. Med. Chem. 55(22) , 9682-92, (2012)

Dietary isothiocyanates (ITC) derived from cruciferous vegetables have been shown to have numerous biological effects consistent with chemoprotective activity. In this study we synthesized a novel ITC, 2-(2-pyridyl) ethyl ITC (PY-ITC), and assessed its chemop...

Metabolism of some naturally occurring isothiocyanates in the rat.

Xenobiotica 13(4) , 203-7, (1983)

The metabolism of methyl, ethyl, butyl and allyl isothiocyanate, which occur as glucosinolates in a number of plants, was studied. Oral administration of the substances to the rat was followed by their renal excretion as mercapturic acids, which were isolated...

Conformational stability, structural parameters and vibrational assignment from variable temperature infrared spectra of krypton solutions and ab initio calculations of ethylisothiocyanate.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 68(3) , 783-95, (2007)

Variable temperature (-105 to -150 degrees C) studies of the infrared spectra (3500-400 cm(-1)) of ethylisothiocyanate, CH(3)CH(2)NCS, dissolved in liquid krypton have been recorded. Additionally the infrared spectra of the gas and solid have been re-investig...

Paradoxical effect of synthetic hydroxy isothiocyanates on antimicrobial action of aminoglycosides.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 67(8) , 1844-6, (2003)

Hydroxy isothiocyanates, especially 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate (hITC), were examined for antimicrobial synergism with streptomycin (SM) against Escherichia coli. On the course of those experiments, a peculiar suppression of SM by a low concentrat...
