Plant parts NA
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein TRPA1
Gene or Protein evidence The chemical hyperalgesia produced by a TRPA1 agonist (allyl isothiocyanate, AITC) was also detected.
Target pathways AITC induced apoptosis in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells via AIF and Endo G signaling pathways, but in MDA-MB-231 cells apoptosis occurred via the GADD153 pathway.
IC50 NA
Potency NA
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA-MB-231
Additional information  ERK-modulated intrinsic signaling and G(2)/M phase arrest contribute to the induction of apoptotic death by allyl isothiocyanate in MDA-MB-468 human breast adenocarcinoma cells.
