Iberin is a natural isothiocyanate found in cruciferous plants. Iberin is know to exhibit anticancer efficacy mediated via induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cells and has strong potential for development as a therapeutic agent against cancer.

ChEBI: Iberin is an isothiocyanate that is 1-isothiocyanatopropane in which a hydrogen at position 3 has been replaced by a methylsulfinyl group. A glucosinolate hydrolysis product found in many members of the Brassicaceae family, it is a quorum-sensing inhibitor (QSI) of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has a role as a quorum sensing inhibitor, a plant metabolite and an apoptosis inducer. It is a sulfoxide and an isothiocyanate.
