Johns Hopkins finds substances in broccoli as key to prevention
Study says chemical can prevent cancer
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Broccoli contains substances that can block or retard formation of breast tumors in rats by promoting anti-cancer enzymes, Johns Hopkins medical researchers report.
In a study to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today, the Hopkins scientists said that doses of compounds that are found in broccoli and in some other vegetables provided cancer protection for a group of rats that had been exposed to powerful cancer-
Paul Talalay, a Hopkins physician and researcher who is co-author of the study, said yesterday that sulforaphane and some related compounds are apparently able to amplify the body's own defenses against chemicals that can lead to cancer.
causing chemicals.
"Most cancer-causing chemicals are themselves innocuous until they enter cells where they are converted to enzymes which are highly reactive and are capable of initiating tumor formation." Talalay said.
Sulforaphane and its chemical cousins, he said, cause the body to produce another type of enzyme that blocks the cancer-causing action of the first enzyme.
In the study, Talalay and his colleagues exposed 145 rats to a powerful cancer-causing chemical called DMBA. Twenty-five of the rats were used as controls and received no drug treatment. The rest received various doses of sulforaphane and related compounds. The drugs were synthetic copies of the compounds found in vegetables.
"The second family of enzymes tend to detoxify the effects of the other enzymes," said the researcher. He
called the results "quite dramatic."
At the end of 50 days, 68 percent of the control rats had developed mammary tumors, but only about 26 percent of those receiving high doses of sulforaphane developed cancer. Similar results were found for another substance, called compound 2, which is related to sulforaphane. Other related compounds also were effective, but to a lesser degree.
sulforaphane-type chemicals tended to either prevent or delay tumor formation, and that when cancer did develop, the tumors were smaller and less numerous.
Talalay said the studies showed the
Talalay emphasized that the vegetable compound seems to work only as a cancer preventer and has no effect on tumors that have already started. As a result, he said, cancer patients should not expect any benefits from broccoli binges.

The experiment is the first by the laboratory to prove that the vegetable compound can work in animals. Talalay said a clinical study with human volunteers is planned.
Sulfuraphane and related compounds are found in what are called cruciferous vegetables. These include broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and cabbage.
