This review establishes sulforaphane as a safe and non-toxic chemopreventative agent and indicates the need for more research for its use in human cancers as a single agent or as part of combination therapy.
PMID: Drug Des Devel Ther. 2018 ;12:2905-2913. Epub 2018 Sep 11. PMID: 30254420 Abstract Title: Chemopreventive activity of sulforaphane. Abstract: Cancer is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Carcinogenesis is a multistep process induced by genetic and epigenetic changes that disrupt pathways controlling cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and senescence. …
Sulforaphane suppresses an animal model of skin cancer in a pleiotropic manner.
PMID: Exp Dermatol. 2019 Jan ;28(1):28-34. Epub 2018 Dec 11. PMID: 30315662 Abstract Title: Antitumor activity of sulforaphane in mice model of skin cancer via blocking sulfatase-2. Abstract: Although there are many treatment options for skin cancer, the chemotherapeutic agents for skin cancer are linked with many adverse effects as well as the development of …

Sulforaphane inhibits Wnt/β-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer cells, supressing proliferation and inducing cell death.
PMID: Oncotarget. 2018 Sep 21 ;9(74):33982-33994. Epub 2018 Sep 21. PMID: 30338040 Abstract Title: Sulforaphane inhibits growth and blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling of colorectal cancer cells. Abstract: The naturally occurring isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN) from cruciferous vegetables is associated with growth inhibition of various cancer types, including colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is most frequently driven by hyperactive …
Sulforaphane inhibits pancreatic cancer proliferation through AMPK activation and Nrf2 translocation in vitro and in vivo.
PMID: Cell Physiol Biochem. 2018 ;50(3):1201-1215. Epub 2018 Oct 24. PMID: 30355942 Abstract Title: Activation of Nrf2 by Sulforaphane Inhibits High Glucose-Induced Progression of Pancreatic Cancer via AMPK Dependent Signaling. Abstract: BACKGROUND/AIMS: Sulforaphane (SFN) is known for its potent bioactive properties, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. However, its anti-tumor effect on pancreatic cancer is …
Sulforaphane may prevent or treat breast cancer by reversing estrogen-induced metabolic changes or alterations in methylation.
PMID: FEBS Open Bio. 2018 Dec ;8(12):2022-2034. Epub 2018 Nov 14. PMID: 30524952 Abstract Title: Sulforaphane-induced metabolomic responses with epigenetic changes in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells. Abstract: Estrogen is a risk factor for breast cancer. The isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN), found in cruciferous vegetables, has been identified as an effective chemopreventive agent, and may …
Sulforaphane enhances lipid metabolism through improved mitochondrial function by Nrf-2 and PGC-1a-dependent mechanisms.
PMID: Mol Nutr Food Res. 2019 02 ;63(4):e1800795. Epub 2019 Jan 11. PMID: 30578708 Abstract Title: Sulforaphane Improves Lipid Metabolism by Enhancing Mitochondrial Function and Biogenesis In Vivo and In Vitro. Abstract: SCOPE: Sulforaphane (SFN) is reported to reduce the accumulation of lipids. However, the underling mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the potential of …
