  • Leukemic cell growth inhibiting method
    Patent number: 6465512
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for growth inhibition of human leukemic cells or therapeutic treatment method of a leukemic patient by using a medicament of which the effective ingredient is a methylsulfinylalkyl isothiocyanate such as 4-(methylsulfinyl)butyl isothiocyanate and 6-(methylsulfinyl)hexyl isothiocyanate, which can be prepared by extraction from the tissues of certain plants and can induce apoptosis in human leukemic cells. This medicament compound is little growth-inhibitive against normal cells as compared with leukemic cells, so that a remarkable therapeutic effect can be expected.
