glucobrassicin/inflammation

The nitronate and nitrovinyl methods to synthesize indole glucosinolates (GLs) have been investigated. The results were applied to generally the most prevalent natural indole glucosinolates to synthesize 4-methoxyglucobrassicin (MGB) and neo-glucobrassicin (NGB) in moderate overall yield for the

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a natural hydrolysis product of glucobrassicin, is a member of the Brassica family of vegetables and is known to have various anti-cancer activities. In the present study, we assessed in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of I3C and its molecular mechanisms. I3C

Recent studies showed that Brassica vegetables are rich in numerous health-promoting compounds such as carotenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and glucosinolates (GLS), as well as isothiocyanates (ITCs) and are involved in health promotion upon consumption. ITCs are breakdown products of GLS, and

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its dimer diindolylmethane (DIM) are bioactive metabolites of a glucosinolate, glucobrassicin, found in cruciferous vegetables. Both I3C and DIM have been reported to possess pro-apoptotic, anti-proliferative and anti-carcinogenic properties via modulation of immune

3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a natural compound formed during the autolysis of glucobrassicin present in Brassica food plants. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacies of DIM on experimental arthritis. The effects of DIM on experimental arthritis were examined on a rat model of
