Nrf2 activation of the antioxidant response element (ARE) is central to cytoprotective gene expression against oxidative and/or electrophilic stress.{17702} Unless activated by inflammatory, environmental, or oxidative stressors, Nrf2 is sequestered in the cytoplasm by its repressor, Keap1.{16386} Because of its protective capabilities, small molecules that activate Nrf2 signaling are being examined as potential anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory agents.{20661} DL-Sulforaphane N-acetyl-L-cysteine (SFN-NAC) is a major metabolite of SFN (Item No. 10496), a powerful inducer of chemopreventative enzymes via Keap1-Nrf2 signaling and ARE-driven gene expression.{21473,26231} At 75 µM, SFN-NAC has been shown to increase ARE expression in HepG2-C8 cells.{26230} Its reported potency on ARE-related gene expression is roughly 8-fold less than SFN.{26230}
