Molecular structure of sulforaphane. The isothiocyanate sulforaphane is an aliphatic small molecule (177.26 g/mol) present in cruciferous vegetables. SFN is shown as a 2D (up) and 3D (down) molecular model. Due to its small molecular weight and its relative high lipophilicity, sulforaphane can easily cross the distinct cellular membranes
