Glucotropaeolin (benzylglucosinolate) is a glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables, particularly garden cress.[1] Upon enzymatic activity, it is transformed into benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC). Isothiocyanates are being studied for their toxicity to cancer, which is more generally sensitive to toxins than healthy cells.
