Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate present naturally in widely consumed vegetables; has shown anticancer and cardioprotective activities.

Sulforaphane induces a cell cycle arrest in a dose-dependent manner, followed by cell death. This sulforaphane-induced cell cycle arrest was correlated with an increased expression of cyclins A and B1. Sulforaphane induces cell death via an apoptotic process. Sulforaphane inhibits the reinitiation of growth and diminishes cellular viability in quiescent colon carcinoma cells (HT29) and has a lower toxicity on differentiated CaCo2 cells[1]. Pre-treatment of H9c2 rat myoblasts with sulforaphane decreases the apoptotic cell number and the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax, caspase-3 and cytochrome c), as well as the doxorubicin-induced increase in mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, sulforaphane increases the mRNA and protein expression of heme oxygenase-1, which consequently reduces the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS, measured using MitoSOX Red reagent) in the mitochondria which are induced by doxorubicin[2].

Sulforaphane can block the formation of ammary tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats treated with single doses of 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene. Administration of sulforaphane reduces the incidence, multiplicity, and weights and delays the development of the mammary tumors evoked by a single dose of DMBA in female Sprague-Dawley rats[3].
