In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Glucosinolates (GLs) are phytocompounds mainly found in the Cruciferae (Brassicacea) and Moringa oleifera plants. The hydrolysis of GLs by myrosinase led to the production of isothiocyanate (ITCs). ITCs consumption was associated with different health promoting effects, including to neuroprotective, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. In particular, they showed neuroprotective effects in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease (PD). From different GLs, different ITCs are originated. In particular, from glucoraphanin (GRA) the ITC sulforaphane (SFN) is obtained. The PI of the project is one of the proprietor of a patent (EP2908850B1) for the application of (Rs)-GRA with myrosinase in a buffered solution for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of the a
