Application

Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) was suitable for use in the following studies:
  • Quantitation of the N-acetylcysteine conjugate of AITC in human urine after ingestion of mustard.
  • Evaluation of the fungitoxic activity of AITC vapour on Penicillium expansum on pears, particularly on a thiabendazole (TBZ)-resistant P. expansum strain in vivo, to verify whether AITC treatment could be a substitute for TBZ.
  • Study of the induction of acetylation of histone in mouse erythroleukemia cells by some organosulfur compounds.
