	Thornalley Lab - Chemoprevention of Cancer by Dietary Isothiocyanates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Isothiocyanates and cysteine conjugates had increased potency against HL60 cells in serum-free medium - the GC values were 0.8-0.9 µM; the potency of the compounds decreased with increased serum content of the medium but that of the cysteine conjugates decreased more markedly.
		Growth inhibition and toxicity was characterized by a rapid interaction of the isothiocyanate with the cells in the first hour of culture – or exposure to isothiocyanate liberated from the cysteine conjugate in the initial 3 h of culture, inhibition of macromolecule synthesis and commitment to apoptosis which developed in the initial 24 h.
		S-(N-phenethylthiocarbamoyl)glutathione spontaneously fragmented to GSH and phenethyl isothiocyanate: GSH oxidized to GSSG and glutathionyl-protein disulphides, and phenethyl isothiocyanate hydrolyzed to phenylethylamine.

	Complexes for immobilizing isothiocyanate natural precursors in cyclodextrins, preparation and use - US Patent 6716827 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The precise subject of this present invention is bacteriostatic, bactericidal and/or fungicidal compositions in which the organic isothiocyanate is stabilised in the form of an inclusion complex in a cyclodextrin, permitting its solubilisation in an aqueous medium and control over its release.
		According to the invention, the inclusion complexes of natural precursors of organic isothiocyanates in cyclodextrins may be used to prepare an inclusion complex of an organic isothyanate in a cyclodextrin.
		Also, it is noted that the benzyl isothiocyanate formed by the action of myrosinase is always complexed in the cyclodextrin and therefore remains soluble in an aqueous solution.

	RedOrbit - Science - Dietary Isothiocyanates Inhibit Caco-2 Cell Proliferation and Induce G^Sub 2^/M Phase Cell Cycle ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Benzyl isothiocyanate and phenethyl isothiocyanate, two aromatic phytochemicals present in substantial concentrations in edible vegetables of the genus Brassica, were investigated for their effects on Caco-2 cell proliferation.
		Benzyl and phenethyl isothiocyanate inhibited DNA synthesis, with 50% inhibitory concentrations of 5.1 and 2.4 mol/L, respectively, and significantly increased the doubling times of Caco-2 cells from 32 h to 220 and 120 h, respectively.
		These results suggest that the antiproliferative effects of benzyl and phenethyl isothiocyanates toward Caco-2 cells are due at least in part to the activation of the G^sub 2^/M DNA damage checkpoint, and that sustained G^sub 2^/M phase cell cycle arrest in response to benzyl and phenethyl isothiocyanates may be maintained through upregulation of p21.

	Allyl isothiocyanate Suppresses Proliferation-Prostate Ca Cells
		Epidemiological studies have suggested that increased consumption of cruciferous vegetables, e.g., broccoli, cabbage etc., may be beneficial in reducing the risk for certain types of malignancies including prostate cancer.
		The anti-neoplastic activity of cruciferous vegetables is believed to be due to isothiocyanate (ITC) class of chemicals that are derived from glucosinolates.
		In the present study, we demonstrate that allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a naturally occurring member of the ITC family of phytochemicals, is a potent inhibitor of the proliferation of PC-3 (androgen-independent) and LNCaP (androgen-dependent) human prostate cancer cells in culture.
