#Antioxidants #Isothiocyanates Kill Cancers in Vitros, According to Studies

By Kyle J. Norton

Dithiolthiones are phytochemicals in the class of Organosulfides, found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables, garden sorrel, horseradish, etc.

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying in disordered and uncontrollable ways in our body, have become progressively worse and damage other healthy tissues, sometimes spreading to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.
In a case-control study conducted in urban Shanghai (from December 2006 to December 2008), ITC consumption from cruciferous vegetables showed a positive effect in reducing the risk of pancreatic cancer after adjusting for possible confounding factors such as age, sex, history of diabetes, and pancreatitis(1). 

Thiazolo, the synthesis of a novel class of quinazoline, produced by the reaction of 4,6-dichloro-5-aminopyrimidine with isothiocyanates in the presence of 20 mol% KF/alumina, exhibited antiproliferative activity in the lung (NCI-H322 and A549), epidermal (A431) and glioblastoma (T98G), HL-60 cell lines at 20 μM. The effect of compound 4a on mitochondrial potential loss in HL-60 cells is probably through cleavage of PARP-1 and procaspase-3 inhibition(2).

The study by Campus Morro do Cruzeiro suggested that the phytochemicals inhibited the cell viability of human cervical cancer cells, human pancreatic cancer cells, human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and human ovarian cancer cells, and have anti-inflammatory properties in the treatment of human T-cell leukemia cells(3).
