How Do Isothiocyanates Exhibit Anticancer Effects?
Isothiocyanates are well-known for their anticancer properties. They play a role in detoxifying carcinogens through the activation of phase II detoxifying enzymes, thus facilitating the elimination of harmful substances from the body. Additionally, isothiocyanates have been shown to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells, inhibit cell proliferation, and prevent the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
