The organosulfur content of the prepared extracts was assessed using GC-MS. A total of seven compounds were identified across all samples, with 3-Vinyl-4H-1,2-dithiin and 2-Vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin recognised as the predominant compounds. Additionally, the effects of these extracts on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well as on the LNCaP, DU145, and PC3 cell lines, were evaluated using MTT assays. Cytotoxic activity was detected in all samples examined. The most pronounced activity was recorded against the LNCaP cell lines, exhibiting varying IC50 values ranging from 23.91 to 48.84 µg/ml.}, number={3}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yildirim University}, organization={Ege University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit}
