Sulforaphane is an organosulfur compound that exhibits anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties in experimental models. It is obtained from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbages. The enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing). Young sprouts of broccoli and cauliflower are particularly rich in glucoraphanin.

When applied topically, sulforaphane may protect skin against UV radiation damage, and thus potentially against cancer. Sulforaphane may inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity.
Preliminary experiments indicate sulforaphane may protect the heart from vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis.
Clinical trialsSulforaphane is in numerous clinical trials including a phase II trial for prostate cancer.
