Description: DL-Goitrin is a potent antithyroid compound found naturally in crucifers. DL-Goitrin is responsible for the induction of glutathione S-transferases. DL-Goitrin is a moderate inhibitor of purified bovine adrenal dopamine beta-hydroxylase, leads to a depression of brain norepinephrine and to an elevation...

(±)-Goitrin is a goitrogen and antithyroid compound that has been found in plants of the Brassica family. Dietary administration of (±)-goitrin (0.06-0.18% w/w) increases thyroid weight and decreases thyroid radioactive iodine uptake in rats fed a low-iodine diet. It also increases thyroid weight in chicks in a...

(±)-Goitrin is a bioactive component found in cruciferous vegetables and other plants such as Isatis indigotica. In a study using a rat model, the presence of (±)-goitrin in the diet resulted in a hypothyroid state. The biological activities of the individual enantiomers are curiously different from one another,...
