Glucosinolates

In vitro
Glucosinolates

Mechanism of Action

Precursors to allyl isothiocyanates upon tissue damage; primary rubefacient and antimicrobial compounds
Hydrolyzed to isothiocyanates and indoles with antimicrobial and chemopreventive activity; characteristic of Brassicaceae family

Research Notes

Field PennycressWestern

Glucosinolates are well-characterised Brassicaceae secondary metabolites. Enzymatic hydrolysis by myrosinase yields bioactive isothiocyanates responsible for topical irritant activity.

ScurvygrassWestern

Glucosinolates are well-characterised Brassicaceae secondary metabolites with established antimicrobial and chemopreventive activity through isothiocyanate metabolites.
