Description：A chiral natural product from broccoli. Also an inducer of phase II enzymes. At room temperature, it is a very slightly yellowish viscous liquid. Its isothiocyanate group reacts with protic solvents such as water and ethanol to form the corresponding thiocarbamates. It reacts with the sulfhydyl group of cysteine and glutathione to form dithiocarbamates (conjugates). |
