7-Methylsulfinylheptyl and 8-methylsulfinyloctyl isothiocyanates from watercress are potent inducers of phase II enzymes.
Watercress is an exceptionally rich dietary source of beta-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC). This compound inhibits phase I enzymes, which are responsible for the activation of many carcinogens in animals, and induces phase II enzymes, which are associated with enhanced excretion of carcinogens. In this study, we show that watercress extracts are potent inducers of quinone reductase (QR) in m...
متن کاملMechanism of differential potencies of isothiocyanates as inducers of anticarcinogenic Phase 2 enzymes.
Isothiocyanates occur in many edible plants and are consumed in substantial quantities by humans. A number of isothiocyanates block chemical carcinogenesis in a variety of animal models by inhibiting Phase 1 enzymes involved in carcinogen activation and by inducing Phase 2 enzymes that accelerate the inactivation of carcinogens. There are large but unexplained potency differences among individu...
متن کاملPolychlorinated dibenzofurans--potent inducers of rat hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes.
The effects of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), trace toxic contaminants of commercial polychlorinated biphenyl preparations (PCBs), on the induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes were studied in the rat. PCDFs were about a thousand times more potent than PCBs (Kanechlor-500) as inducers of cytochrome P-450. Rats given 10 microgram/kg of PCDFs intraperitoneally for 3 days showed si...
متن کاملNew hits as phase II enzymes inducers from a focused library with heteroatom–heteroatom and Michael-acceptor motives
The increased activity of phase-II-detoxification enzymes, such as quinone reductase (QR) and glutation S-transferase (GST), correlates with protection against chemically induced carcinogenesis. Herein we studied 11 different chemotypes, pyrazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiazole, 1,3,4-oxathiazole, thienyl hydrazone, α,β-unsaturated-oxime, α,β-unsaturated-N...
