Product Description: 7-Methylsulfinylheptyl isothiocyanate is an activator for MAPK signaling pathway, which downregulates the melanogenesis related proteins and suppresses the melanin synthesis in B16-F1 cells. 7-Methylsulfinylheptyl isothiocyanate induces autophagy. 7-Methylsulfinylheptyl isothiocyanate is an inducer for phase II enzyme, which exhibits chemoprotective effect against carcinogen. 7-Methylsulfinylheptyl isothiocyanate can be used as cosmetic ingredient for skin whitening and anti-inflammation[1][2].
Applications: COVID-19-immunoregulation
Formula: C9H17NOS2
