Disease relevance of C07600

  • We also tested allicin on erythrocytic stages and found that a 4-day regimen of allicin administered either orally or intravenously significantly decreased parasitemias and increased the survival of infected mice by 10 days [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: These favourable results, despite the short half-life of this compound in vivo, support further studies of controlled sustained release or more prolonged administration of allicin as a treatment for aspergillosis [2].
  • Allicin (5 mg/kg body weight) was administered iv once daily for 5 days post-infection or orally (po) (9 mg/kg body weight) for 5 days pre-infection and 10 days post-infection [2].
  • Allicin in garlic protects against coronary endothelial dysfunction and right heart hypertrophy in pulmonary hypertensive rats [3].
  • Multiple administration (i.p.) of allicin elicited a marked antitumor effect in mice inoculated with B-16 melanoma and MCA-105 fibrosarcoma [4].
 

High impact information on C07600

  • Moreover, allicin and DADS activate the cloned TRPA1 channel when expressed in heterologous systems [5].
  • Garlic belongs to the Allium family of plants that produce organosulfur compounds, such as allicin and diallyl disulfide (DADS), which account for their pungency and spicy aroma [5].
  • Intriguingly, allicin and DADS share structural similarities with allyl isothiocyanate, the pungent ingredient in wasabi and other mustard plants that induces pain and inflammation by activating TRPA1, an excitatory ion channel on primary sensory neurons of the pain pathway [5].
  • When sporozoites were treated with allicin before injection into mice, malaria infection was completely prevented [1].
  • The effects of DADS and allicin on GST expression were especially prominent in stomach and small intestine, where there were major coordinate changes in GST subunit profiles [6].

Associations of C07600 with other chemical compounds

  • Various components of garlic and aged garlic extract, including allicin, S-allylcysteine (SAC) and volatile metabolites of allicin were determined in breath, plasma and simulated gastric fluids by HPLC, gas chromatography (GC) or HPLC- and GC-mass spectrometry (MS) [17].
  • The failure of five recent clinical trials to show significant reduction in elevated serum cholesterol by a single brand of allicin-standardized garlic powder tablets is in contrast to many prior positive studies with the same brand [18].
  • Enhancement of the Fungicidal Activity of Amphotericin B by Allicin, an Allyl-Sulfur Compound from Garlic, against the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a Model System [19].
  • All dipropenyl thiosulfinates (allicin, 1-propenyl allyl, and allyl 1-propenyl) were formed at an optimum pH of 4.5-5 [20].
  • The new stable compound allylmercaptocaptopril combines the beneficial properties of captopril and allicin and is a potential candidate for antihypertensive drug therapy [21].
