“Biochemical experiments showed that PEITC reduces not only the metabolic activation of PhIP via 2-hydroxyamino PhIP but also inhibits a detoxification pathway (formation of 4-hydroxy PhIP).”
“ PEITC also reduced the formation of micronuclei by DMN in metabolically competent Hep-G-2 cells of human origin but was ineffective in combination with PhIP.”
“ Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a constituent of cruciferous vegetables, inhibited the genotoxic effects of N-nitrosodimethylamine (DMN) and of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-beta]pyridine (PhIP) in differential DNA repair assays with E. coli K-12 strains in vitro and in animal mediated assays with mice.”
