Abstract in brief

The hexane extract of Raphanus sativus (radish) roots inhibits the growth of human cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and affecting genes involved in cell death pathways.
Chemical analysis revealed that the extract contains isothiocyanates (ITCs), which are compounds known for their cancer-fighting properties, and these compounds play a key role in promoting cell death regardless of the p53 gene status.
The study provides new evidence that R sativus root extract can potentially be used for cancer prevention by modulating apoptotic genes and activating enzymes like Caspase-3, leading to cancer cell death.
