  • The inhibitory effects of land race radish (LRR) and wild race radish (WRR) extracts on cancer cell lines were investigated. A and their glucosinolate and sulforaphane contents were analyzed. The anticancer activitiesy of the LRR and WRR extracts on the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were determined by a CCK (cell counting kit) assay, in which WWR showed higher inhibition rates than LRR. The sulforaphane content of WRR was higher than that of LRR. In the lung cancer cell line, A-549, WRR showed higher inhibition rates and a higher total glucosinolate content than LRR. The glucosinolate contents of the radishes were analyzed by the Pd-quicktest method, showing that WRR contained more glucosinolate than LRR in both the trunk and root. In conclusion, these results indicate that wild race radish could be used for the quality improvement of radishes.
