Inactivation of cytochrome P450 2E1 by tert-butyl isothiocyanate (tBITC) resulted in a loss in the spectrally detectable P450-reduced CO complex. The heme prosthetic group does not appear to become modified, since little loss of the heme was observed in the

The present paper describes the development of an analytical method for the semiquantitative analysis of 3-butenyl isothiocyanate in mustard seeds, this compound being linked to an undesirable (at least for the European palate) off-flavor. 3-Butenyl isothiocyanate is one of the

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 chemopreventive ability in comparison to sulforaphane
