Epigenetic processes participate in cancer development and likely influence cancer prevention. Global DNA hypomethylation, gene promoter hypermethylation and aberrant histone post-translational modifications are hallmarks of neoplastic cells which have been associated with genomic instability and
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors reactivate epigenetically-silenced genes in cancer cells, triggering cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Recent evidence suggests that dietary constituents can act as HDAC inhibitors, such as the isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables and the allyl
Epidemiological evidence indicates that a high dietary intake of plants of the Allium family, such as garlic and onions, decreases the risk of cancer in humans. It has been suggested that this effect is due to the ability of the aliphatic mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasulfides derived from these
Allyl bromide is primarily used as a starting material/chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the manufacture of polymers/resins, synthetic perfumes, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and other allyl compounds. It has been described as an insecticidal fumigant
