title: S-methyl methane thiosulfonate, a new antimutagenic compound isolated from Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis.
abstract: Though various antimutagens with desmutagenic activities have been found in our daily foods of plant origin, the numbers of antimutagens with bio-antimutagenic activities found so far are limited. In the present study, a compound with potential bio-antimutagenic activity to Escherichia coli B/r WP2 was newly isolated from cauliflower, Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis, and its chemical structure was identified to be S-methyl methane thiosulfonate by NMR and MS analysis.
