(R)-Sulforaphane is an orally active and potent inducer of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway, exhibiting antioxidant and anticancer activities. It primarily functions by upregulating phase II detoxifying enzymes in cells, aiding in the removal of carcinogens and combating oxidative stress. This compound modulates gene expression, influencing various signaling pathways, including Nrf2, NF-κB, and AP-1.
- Can be used in studies of tumor biology, antioxidant defense mechanisms, inflammation, and immune responses
- Promotes transcription of tumor-suppressing proteins
- Effectively inhibits HDAC activity
- Offers cardiac protection by activating the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway and inducing HO-1 expression
- Suppresses high glucose-induced pancreatic cancer via AMPK-dependent signal transmission
- Storage at -20°C, protect from light, stored under nitrogen
- Unstable in solutions, freshly prepared is recommended
