Erucin（Cat No.:R006172）is a bioactive compound found in cruciferous vegetables, particularly in mustard and arugula. It is a sulfur-containing isothiocyanate, which is produced when the precursor molecule, sinigrin, is broken down. Erucin has shown significant potential in various therapeutic areas, particularly in cancer prevention and treatment. It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation in cancerous cells. Additionally, Erucin is being studied for its ability to modulate detoxification enzymes, which may contribute to its protective effects against oxidative stress and toxic compounds.
