Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
L-Sulforaphane, a compound found at high levels in broccoli, has been reported to prevent NFκB binding, which results in downregulation of apoptosis inhibitors therefore inducing apoptosis. Research has demonstrated sulforaphane to be a potent inducer of phase II detoxification enzymes and display chemoprotective properties. Other experiments have shown sulforaphane to induce enzymes of xenobiotic metabolism and therefore accelerate the metabolic disposal of xenobiotics. Sulforaphane also displays a capacity to inhibit intracellular, extracellular, and antibiotic-resistant strains of Helicobacter pylori. Additionally, this compound has been found to prevent clonogenicity. This product is sold in the L-enantiomer form. An inducer of apoptosis, detoxification and xenobiotic enzymes
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfoxides. These are compounds containing a sulfoxide functional group, with the structure RS(=O)R' (R,R' not H).
