SINIGRIN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Sinigrine, is a glucosinolate which is found naturally in Cruciferae including the genus Brassica. When enzymatically hydrolysed, Sinigrine yields isothiocyanates and give a pungent taste. Both Sinigrine, and isothiocyanates, have been shown to have anticancer activity as well as antifungal and antibacterial properties.

Uses

Sinigrin, a glucosinolate, is used as a systrate to identify, differentiate and characterize myrosinase(s)/thioglucoside glucohydrolase(s)/thioglucosidase(s). Sinigrin is used as a reference material in procedures for the isolation and identification of glucosinolates.

Definition

ChEBI: An alkenylglucosinolate that is the conjugate base of sinigrin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A β-D-thioglucopyranoside occurring in black mustard seeds and horseradish root. Substrate for thioglucosidase.
