Sulforaphane has two possible stereoisomers due to the presence of a stereogenic Sulfur atom.

The R-SFN enantiomer occurs naturally, while the S-SFN can be synthesized.

Studies in vitro demonstrate that SFN regulate actin cytoskeleton, inhibiting the formation of actin stress fiber and the expression of associated proteins which promotes the spread of premalignant cells. Therefore, the studies shown that SFN suppresses metastasis of breast cancer.
