| Common Name | 3-Benzylisothiocyanate |
|---|
| Description | Benzyl isothiocyanate, also known as benzylsenfoel or a-isothiocyanatotoluene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Benzyl isothiocyanate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). A recent published study showed its impact on obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance in diet-induced obesity mouse model. Outside of the human body, Benzyl isothiocyanate has been detected, but not quantified in, horseradish. This could make benzyl isothiocyanate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzyl isothiocyanate, and other isothiocyanates in general, were found to be protective against pancreatic carcinogenesis in vitro via expression of p21/WAF1 gene. Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is an isothiocyanate found in plants of the mustard family. 3-Benzylisothiocyanate is found in Acanthella cavernosa, Allium cepa, Brassica juncea , Carica papaya, Carica papaya , Descurainia sophia , Erucaria microcarpa, Lepidium apetalum, Lepidium meyenii, Lepidium meyenii Maca , Lepidium sativumt, Moringa oleifera , Moringa peregrine, Moringa stenopetala , Pentadiplandra brazzeana, Simicratea welwitschii, Sinapis alba and Tropaeolum majus . It can be found in Alliaria petiolata, pilu oil, and papaya seeds where it is the main product of the glucotropaeolin breakdown by the enzyme myrosinase. |
