Brief Introduction:
Propylene isothiocyanate (AITC) is a natural organosulfur compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, mustard, horseradish and cauliflower, and is known for its spicy taste. AITC is usually stored in plants in the form of a stable precursor, sinigrin, and is converted into an active form through an enzymatic reaction released when tissues are damaged. AITC has a variety of pharmacological properties, including anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown that AITC can significantly interfere with the oxidative stress, inflammatory response, cell proliferation, cycle arrest, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, showing good anticancer potential. However, due to its low water solubility, instability and low bioavailability, its clinical application faces challenges. In addition, AITC also exhibits a toxic effect on pine wood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), which can cause the nematodes to become distorted in morphology, move slowly, and even die, and affect the total sugar and protein content in the nematodes and the activity of their antioxidant enzymes. This provides a theoretical basis for the development of plant-based nematicides based on AITC.
This is the primary category, as propylene isothiocyanate contains the isothiocyanate functional group (-N=C=S).
It is an organic compound, specifically an isothiocyanate derivative of propylene.
Isothiocyanates, including propylene isothiocyanate, contain sulfur as part of their structure.
It is often used in chemical synthesis and is considered a reagent for various chemical reactions, especially in organic chemistry.
Operating from its location at Advanced Manufacturing Industry Park, Xiangjiang West Street, Yanzis Street, Weifang Binhai Economic Development Zone, Weifang Jiahua engages primarily in the production and sales of non-licensed chemical products, alongside providing technical services, development, consultations, exchanges, transfers, and promotions. Additionally, the company conducts import and export operations upon approval.
