  19. Selective increase of the potential anticarcinogen 4-methylsulphinylbutyl glucosinolate in broccoli. Carcinogenesis. 1998 ;19(4):605-9 • Faulkner K, Mithen R, Williamson G.John Innes Centre, Norwich Research Park, UK.The putative anticarcinogenic activity of Brassica vegetables has been associated with the presence of certain glucosinolates. 4-Methylsulphinylbutyl isothiocyanate (sulphoraphane), derived from the corresponding glucosinolate found in broccoli, has previously been identified as a potent inducer of the anticarcinogenic marker enzyme quinone reductase [NADP(H):quinone-acceptor oxidoreductase] in murine hepatoma Hepa 1c1c7 cells. We have therefore produced a broccoli hybridwith increased levels of this anticarcinogenic glucosinolate and tested the ability of extracts to induce quinone reductase. A 10-fold increase in the level of 4-methylsulphinylbutyl glucosinolate was obtained by crossing broccoli cultivars with selected wild taxa of the Brassica oleracea (chromosome number, n = 9) complex. Tissue from these hybrids exhibited a >100-fold increase in the ability to induce quinone reductase in Hepa 1c1c7 cells over broccoli cultivars, due to both an increase in 4-methylsulphinylbutyl glucosinolate content and increased percentage conversion to sulphoraphane.
