Cayman Sulforaphane; Purity- Greater Than Or Equal To 98%; Size-

Nrf2 activation of the antioxidant response element (ARE) is central to cytoprotective gene expression against oxidative and/or electrophilic stress. Unless activated by inflammatory, environmental, or oxidative stressors, Nrf2 is sequestered in the cytoplasm by its repressor, Keap1. Because of its protective capabilities, small molecules that activate Nrf2 signaling are being examined as potential anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory agents. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, that potently induces chemopreventative enzymes via Keap1-Nrf2 signaling and ARE-driven gene expression. At 15 μM, sulforaphane inhibits class I and II HDAC activity and suppresses tumor growth by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis selectively in various cancerous prostate epithelial cells without affecting normal cells.
