Description
Camalexin is a phytoalexin isolated from Camelina sativa (Cruciferae) with antibacterial, antifungal, antiproliferative and anticancer activities. Camalexin can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

In Vitro
Camalexin shows antiproliferative activity against a human breast cancer cell line.For the oomycetes Phytophthora and Pythium Nep1-like proteins (necrosis and ethylene-inducing peptide 1-like proteins) are the initial triggers of Camalexin synthesis and formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS appear to be of general relevance for Camalexin formation.
