Metabolite Identification
Common Name1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane
Description1-Isothiocyanato-2-phenylethane, also known as 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) or (2-isothiocyanatoethyl) benzene is an isothiocyanate having a phenethyl group attached to the nitrogen. It is a naturally occurring compound found in some cruciferous vegetables (e.g. watercress) and is known to possess anticancer properties. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, a metabolite and an EC 1.2.1.3 [aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD(+))] inhibitor. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. PEITC is found in high concentrations in kohlrabis. In terms of biosynthesis, PEITC is produced from gluconasturtiin by the action of the enzyme myrosinase. PEITC has been used in trials studying the prevention and treatment of leukemia, lung cancer, tobacco use disorder, and lymphoproliferative disorders.
