Product Description
Glucotropaeolin potassium (Benzylglucosinolate potassium), a glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables, causes a modest reduction in spontaneous DNA damage in animals.
Glucotropaeolin (GT) is a glucosinolate compound contained in cruciferous vegetables (e.g., Brassica vegetables) [1]. It is known to be hydrolyzed by either plant myrosinase or bacterial myrosinase in the gut to give rise to a variety of products, predominantly isothiocyanates, but also nitriles [1]. In the present study, Glucotropaeolin was investigated for its chemoprotective activity against DNA damage induced by the cooked food mutagen 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) in rats with different intestinal microflora status [1].
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vivo
Glucotropaeolin (150 mg/kg body weight) was orally administered to germ-free (GF), conventional flora (NF), and human flora-associated (HFA) rats for three consecutive days, followed by IQ treatment (90 mg/kg) on the fourth day. Pretreatment with GT led to a complete reduction of IQ-induced DNA damage in both hepatocytes and colonocytes, regardless of the microbial status of the animals, as measured by the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay. The comet tail lengths in GT+IQ treated animals were almost similar to those measured in cells from control animals (untreated). Additionally, a moderate but non-significant decrease in spontaneous (background) DNA damage was observed in animals that received Glucotropaeolin alone [1].
Animal Protocol
Glucotropaeolin was administered orally to male Fischer 344 rats (body weight 250 g) with different microbial statuses: germ-free (GF), conventional flora (NF), and human flora-associated (HFA). The compound was dissolved in distilled water. Rats were pretreated with Glucotropaeolin at a dose of 150 mg/kg body weight once daily for three consecutive days via gavage (0.2 ml/animal). On the fourth day, the animals were exposed to IQ (90 mg/kg in corn oil) for 4 hours and then killed for isolation of liver and colon cells. In separate groups, rats received Glucotropaeolin alone (150 mg/kg for three days) to assess its effect on spontaneous DNA damage. All animals were deprived of feed for 24 hours before IQ exposure but received water ad libitum. Negative controls received oil only [1].
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Fecal residues of Glucotropaeolin were determined using HPLC. In GF rats, 11–14 μmol (5–6 mg) of Glucotropaeolin per gram of feces were found at each collection time. The daily recovery of Glucotropaeolin in feces of GF rats was 21–44 μmol (9–19 mg) per rat, which accounted for 25–50% of the daily ingested dose. In contrast, Glucotropaeolin was not detectable in the feces of HFA or NF rats, indicating complete metabolic degradation by the intestinal microflora [1].

Additional Infomation
Glucotropaeolin is a glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables such as Brassica species. Its chemoprotective effects are generally attributed to breakdown products (isothiocyanates and indoles) formed by plant myrosinase or intestinal bacterial enzymes. However, the study observed a strong protective effect against IQ-induced DNA damage even in GF rats, suggesting spontaneous degradation of Glucotropaeolin in the upper digestive tract as a possible mechanism. This is the first report using the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay in rats with different intestinal microflora to investigate interactions between intestinal bacteria, chemical carcinogens, and chemoprotective compounds [1].
