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 of heart and adrenal dopamine.

Goitrin ((S)-Goitrin), formed through glucosinolate-myrosinase reactions, serves as a potent inhibitor of thyroid peroxidase, thereby hindering the thyroid's utilization of iodine. Additionally, it demonstrates anti-influenza virus (H1N1) activity.

1. Epigoitrin (Goitrin) has anti-virus activity. 2. Epigoitrin has anti-oxidant activity. 3. Epigoitrin has anti-inflammation activity.
