Figure 1. Myrosinase-catalyzed breakdown of indol-3-ylmethyl­glucosinolate (I3M-GS).

Figure 1.

Myrosinase-catalyzed breakdown of I3M-GS leads to the formation of unstable intermediates and then to indole-3-acetonitrile (I3N) and indole-3-carbionol (I3C). I3C reacts with itself and other plant metabolites to form a number of conjugates, some of which are shown.
