Vitamin U is a tentative designation given by Garnett Cheney for antipeptic ulcer factors in cabbage juice that he found to cure peptic ulcers in eleven days versus thirty-seven days for placebo.[1][2][3] S-methylmethionine (SMM) is only one of the beneficial compounds in these plants.[4] Other research points to fibre preventing ulcers.[5] Glucosinolate is a group of molecules in the Brassicaceae family with gastro- and hepato-protective action.[6] Indoles and iso-thio-cyanates dominate effects of Brassicaceae in this article, because they are products of glucosinolate decomposition.

Gastroenterology

Without myrosinase, bacteria in the rat cecum can hydrolyse glucoraphanin into raphanin.[7] Allyl-iso-thio-cyanate (AITC) increases food transit time in rat colons.[8] Sulforaphane enhances protection and repair of gastric mucosa in vitro.[9] DIM has many molecular targets and dramatic effects against ulcerative colitis and colon cancer in what lives.[10]

Hepatology

While Brassicaceae is a large genus of plants containing hepato-protective agents,[11] it does not contain a monopoly on them.[12]

Oncology

I3C promotes cancer cell death with many molecular targets.[13] Broccoli sprouts are rich enough in glucoraphanin for experimental results against aflatoxin, a carcinogen.[14] Ulyasov and others found positive results in leukemia with DIM,[15] Glucobrassicin being a precursor of DIM through indole-3-carbinol.

Microbiology

Iso-thio-cyanates are an important factor in the action of Wasabi against Helicobacter Pylori,[16][17][18] and ITC is not a molecule, but a functional group on many different molecules, Sinigrin being a notable precursor of allyl-ITC, and AITC being a larger part of Wasabi than of most other Brassicaceae. Sulforaphane demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects on Helicobacter pylori-infected gastric mucosae in mice and human subjects.[9]

Contraindications

Brassica species probably cause baby colic in breast-feeding.[19]
