CYP2A3 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily and is the rat ortholog most closely related to human CYP2A6. It functions as a phase I xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme, catalyzing the oxidative metabolism of small, often volatile or tobacco-related compounds.
CYP2A3 is widely used in rat toxicology and carcinogenesis studies as a surrogate to understand:
-Human CYP2A6-mediated cancer risk
-Tobacco-related lung carcinogenesis
Inhibition or downregulation of CYP2A3 in animal models often reduces carcinogen activation and tumor incidence, supporting its functional role in cancer initiation.

Risk↓, strong inverse relationship between dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables and the incidence of cancer.
AntiCan↑, Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is present as gluconasturtiin in many cruciferous vegetables with remarkable anti-cancer effects.
TumCP↓, PEITC targets multiple proteins to suppress various cancer-promoting mechanisms such as cell proliferation, progression and metastasis
TumMeta↓,
ChemoSen↑, combination of PEITC with conventional anti-cancer agents is also highly effective in improving overall efficacy
*BioAv↑, ITCs are released from glucosinolates by the action of the enzyme myrosinase. The enzyme myrosinase can be activated by cutting or chewing the vegetables, but heating can destroy its activity
*other↝, Although water cress and broccoli are known to be the richest source, PEITC can also be obtained from turnips and radish
*Dose↝, In a study conducted with human volunteers, approximately 2 to 6 mg of PEITC was found to be released by the consumption of one ounce of watercress
Dose↓, significant anti-cancer effects can be achieved at micromolar concentrations of PEITC.
*BioAv↑, PEITC is highly bioavailable after oral administration. A single dose of 10–100 μmol/kg PEITC in rats resulted in bioavailability ranging between 90–114%
*Dose↝, Furthermore, about 928.5±250nM peak plasma concentration of PEITC was achieved in human subjects, after the consumption of 100g watercress.
*Half-Life↝, time to reach peak plasma concentration was observed to be 2.6h±1.1h with a t1/2 4.9±1.1h
*toxicity↝, long term studies are required to establish the safety profile of PEITC, since regular intake of PEITC can cause its accumulation resulting in cumulative effects, which could be toxic.
GSH↓, The conjugation of PEITC with intracellular glutathione and the subsequent removal of the conjugate result in depletion of glutathione and alteration in redox homeostasis leading to oxidative stress
ROS↑, PEITC-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to be a general mechanism of action leading to cytotoxic effects, especially specific to cancer cells
CYP1A1↑, PEITC on one hand causes induction of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2; however, it inhibits activity of certain CytP450 enzymes, such as CYP2E1, CYP3A4 and CYP2A3
CYP1A2↑,
P450↓,
CYP2E1↑,
CYP3A4↓,
CYP2A3/CYP2A6↓,
*ROS↓, PEITC treatment caused a significant increase in the activities of ROS detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase1, superoxide dismutase 1 and 2. This was also confirmed in human study where subjects were administered watercress, a major sour
*GPx1↑,
*SOD1↑,
*SOD2↑,
Akt↓, PEITC inhibits Akt, a component of Ras signaling to inhibit tumor growth in several cancer types
EGFR↓, PEITC is also known to inhibit EGFR and HER2, which are important growth factors and regulators of Akt in different cancer models
HER2/EBBR2↓,
P53↑, PEITC-mediated activation of another tumor suppressor, p53 was observed in oral squamous cell carcinoma, causing G0/G1 phase arrest in multiple myeloma,
Telomerase↓, PEITC has been shown to inhibit telomerase activity in prostate and cervical cancer cells
selectivity↑, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which also has been shown to be the basis of selectivity of PEITC toward cancer cells leaving normal cells undamaged [
MMP↓, ROS generation by PEITC leads to mitochondrial deregulation and modulation of proteins like Bcl2, BID, BIM and BAX, causing the release of cytochrome c into cytosol leading to apoptosis
Cyt‑c↑,
Apoptosis↑,
DR4↑, induction of death receptors and Fas-mediated apoptosis
Fas↑,
XIAP↓, PEITC-mediated suppression of anti-apoptotic proteins like XIAP and survivin, which are up-regulated in cancer cells
survivin↓,
TumAuto↑, PEITC induces autophagic cell death in cancer cells
Hif1a↓, PEITC directly or indirectly suppresses HIF1α
angioG↓, is possible that PEITC can block angiogenesis by non-hypoxic mechanisms also.
MMPs↓, Various studies with PEITC have shown suppression of invasion through inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases along with anti-metastatic effects caused by suppression of ERK kinase activity and transcriptional activity of NFkB
ERK↓,
NF-kB↓,
EMT↓, PEITC was also known to inhibit processes, such as epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell invasion and migration, which are essential pre-requisites for metastasis
TumCI↓,
TumCMig↓,
Glycolysis↓, reduced rates of glycolysis in PEITC-treated cells and depletion of ATP lead to death in prostate cancer cells
ATP↓,
selectivity↑, PEITC (5μM) treatment suppressed glycolysis in the cancer cells, but no changes were observed in normal cells.
*antiOx↑, the antioxidant effect is achieved at very low ITC levels in normal cells as shown in various animal models
Dose↝, At higher concentrations, ITCs may generate ROS by depleting antioxidant levels. PEITC is known to cause ROS generation, which is the major mechanism of toxicity in cancer cells
other↝, There is a continuous leakage of electrons from the electron transport chain (ETC), which is major source of ROS production. PEITC causes generation of endogenous ROS by disrupting mitochondrial respiratory chain
OCR↓, PEITC also inhibits mitochondrial complex III activity and reduces the oxygen consumption rate in prostate cancer cells
GSH↓, PEITC binds to GSH and causes its depletion in cancer cells leading to ROS-induced cell damage
ITGB1↓, PEITC was found to inhibit major integrins, such as ITGB1, ITGA2 and ITGA6 in prostate cancer cells
ITGB6↓,
ChemoSen↑, Using pre-clinical studies, improved outcomes were observed when the conventional agents, such as docetaxel, metformin, vinblastine, doxorubicin and HDAC inhibitors were combined with PEITC
