Isothiocyanates of Wasabi and other crucifers are effective anti-inflammatory
(Depree et al. 1998) and anti-asthmatic (Dorsch et al. 1985)
agents. Depree et al. (1998) were so impressed with their results
when testing isothiocyanates that they made the following statements: ‘The
anti-inflammatory effects and inhibition of platelet aggregation by omega-methylthioalkyl
isothiocyanates is perhaps of more interest given the rapid action of the compounds
and the low levels at which they are effective. This could potentially be used
to counter inflammatory conditions such as asthma or even anaphylaxis. The
ability of the Wasabi isothiocyanates to inhibit platelet aggregation could
also have medical applications, particularly in the treatment of heart attacks.
Further work on the pharmacology of these compounds and their possible medicinal
use, as well as other medicinal properties of Wasabi seems warranted.’
Other inflammatory conditions that may be treated with Wasabi's isothiocyanates
include rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease
and ulcerative colitis), allergies and septic shock.
