Bacterial degradation of benzyl isothiocyanate.
Bacteria that degrade benzyl isothiocyanate to benzylamine and hydrogen sulfide were isolated from papaya pulp homogenate by enrichment culture techniques. These organisms were identified as members of Enterobacter cloacae.
متن کاملGenotoxic effects of benzyl isothiocyanate, a natural chemopreventive agent.
Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is contained in cruciferous plants which are part of the human diet. Numerous reports indicate that BITC prevents chemically induced cancer in laboratory animals and it has been postulated that BITC might also be chemoprotective in humans. On the other hand, evidence is accumulating that this compound is a potent genotoxin in mammalian cells by itself. To further el...
متن کاملBehavioural response of Meloidogyne incognita to benzyl isothiocyanate
The breakdown of brassicaceous plant material produces nematotoxic isothiocyanates (ITCs). However, after the incorporation of brassicaceous plant material into soil, many nematodes are likely to be exposed only to sublethal concentrations of these compounds. Although unknown, the effect of these low ITC concentrations on the behaviour of plant-parasitic nematodes could play a role in nematode ...
متن کاملBenzyl isothiocyanate: double trouble for breast cancer cells.
An inverse association between dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables and cancer risk has been established for different types of malignancies, including breast cancer. The anticarcinogenic effect of cruciferous vegetables has been attributed to chemicals with an isothiocyanate (ITC) functional moiety. Research over the past three decades has provided extensive preclinical evidence for the ef...
متن کاملBenzyl isothiocyanate sensitizes human pancreatic cancer cells to radiation therapy.
Increase in systemic toxicity and resistance are the major drawbacks of radiation therapy in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. We have shown previously that BITC inhibits the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells and induces apoptosis. Here we determined whether BITC could sensitize BxPC-3 cells and increase the therapeutic potential of gamma-irradiation. Cells were pretreated with 2.5 micr...
