Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Iberin is a glucosinolate found in Iberis amara (bitter candytuft), a flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae. It is a sulfur-containing compound that is hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase to produce the bioactive compound iberverine. Iberin has been studied for its potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Its importance lies in its potential therapeutic applications, and researchers are investigating its mechanisms of action and its safety profile.'

FloraRankFlora DefinitionFamilyFamily Definition
BrassicaceaefamilyA plant family of the order Capparales, subclass Dilleniidae, class Magnoliopsida. They are mostly herbaceous plants with peppery-flavored leaves, due to gluconapin (GLUCOSINOLATES) and its hydrolysis product butenylisotrhiocyanate. The family includes many plants of economic importance that have been extensively altered and domesticated by humans. Flowers have 4 petals. Podlike fruits contain a number of seeds. Cress is a general term used for many in the Brassicacea family. Rockcress is usually ARABIS; Bittercress is usually CARDAMINE; Yellowcress is usually RORIPPA; Pennycress is usually THLASPI; Watercress refers to NASTURTIUM; or RORIPPA or TROPAEOLUM; Gardencress refers to LEPIDIUM; Indiancress refers to TROPAEOLUM.[MeSH]BrassicaceaeA plant family of the order Capparales, subclass Dilleniidae, class Magnoliopsida.
