Goitrin  (Synonyms: (S)-Goitrin; L-5-Vinyl-2-thiooxazolidone)

Goitrin ((S)-Goitrin), a product of glucosinolate-myrosinase reactions, is a potent inhibitor of thyroid peroxidase. Goitrin can inhibit iodine utilization by the thyroid. Goitrin also exhibits anti-influenza virus (H1N1) activity^[1][2][3].

Goitrin (0.1-1 μM; 72 h) exhibits dose-dependent anti-influenza virus (H1N1) activity in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, with an IC₅₀ of 0.19 μM^[3].
