Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC)(1) and benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), naturally occurring constituents of cruciferous vegetables, have been reported to exert inhibitory effects against development of tobacco-specific carcinogen-induced lung tumors and are regarded as promising chemopreventive agents
