Description
S-(N-Methylsulfinylbutylthiocarbamoyl)-glutathione is a conjugate of sulforaphane and glutathione. In vivo, sulforaphane conjugates with glutathione during metabolism. In animal models of prostate cancer, this conjugate displays antioxidative and anticancer chemotherapeutic activities, increasing levels of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), Nrf2, activated caspase 3, cleaved PARP, and Bax, decreasing levels of Keap1, Bcl-xl, 4E-BP1, mTOR, and cyclin D1, and slowing tumor growth.
