p-Hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate (p-HBITC)
In vitroMechanism of Action
Less volatile than AITC — produces milder rubefaction with less respiratory irritation; inhibits alpha-glucosidase contributing to postprandial glucose attenuation; antimicrobial via membrane disruption; anti-inflammatory through iNOS and NF-κB inhibition; antifungal activity against Candida albicans and dermatophytes
Research Notes
Mustard SeedWestern
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity confirmed in enzyme assays (IC50 ~85 µM). Antimicrobial activity against food pathogens documented for white mustard preparations. Anti-inflammatory mechanistic studies validated in macrophage activation models. Milder dermal and mucosal effects than AITC make white mustard safer for internal applications.
