Discovery and development of sulforaphane as a cancer chemopreventive phytochemical

Yuesheng Zhang et al. Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2007 Sep.

Abstract

Sulforaphane (SF) is a phytochemical that displays both anticarcinogenic and anticancer activity. SF modulates many cancer-related events, including susceptibility to carcinogens, cell death, cell cycle, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. We review its discovery and development as a cancer chemopreventive agent with the intention of encouraging further research on this important compound and facilitating the identification and development of new phytochemicals for cancer prevention.
