十字花科油菜Burnett(syn.十字花科(Cruciferae A.L.de Jussieu)包括许多可食用或观赏的重要经济作物，由于其硫磺代谢物硫代谢物硫代葡萄糖苷具有强烈的气味，因此通常被称为“芥子科”植物。十字花科植物还会产生酚类、生育酚和特殊的种子油。目前的科学知识将属于这个植物科的物种归因于几个健康益处，如降低癌症风险。本文综述了十字花科植物的植物化学概况，特别是硫代葡萄糖苷及其衍生的降解产物异硫氰酸酯。此外，还讨论了它们作为抗氧化剂和抗癌代谢物的作用。
Brassicaceae Burnett (syn. Cruciferae A.L. de Jussieu) include many important economic plants used as edible or ornamental which are commonly known as the "mustard" plant family due to the sharp, potent flavour of their sulfur metabolites, the glucosinolates. Brassicas also produce phenolics, tocopherols and peculiar seed oils. Current scientific knowledge attributes to species belonging to this botanical family several health benefits such as reduced risk of cancer. This review summarizes information on the phytochemical profile of Brassicaceae plants, with a special regard to glucosinolates and their derived degradation products, the isothiocyanates. In addition, their role as antioxidant and cancer protective metabolites is discussed.
