Reversed-Phase HPLC Determination of Alliin in Diverse Varieties of Fresh Garlic and Commercial Garlic Products.
<p>Alliin is a predominant flavor precursor in garlic cloves. It interacts with the enzyme alliinase when garlic cloves are crushed, cut, or chewed to produce allicin, an unstable thiosulfinate that is the main biologically active component of fresh crushed garlic. Biological functions and health …

Modes of action of antimicrobial garlic derivatives
Two commercial garlic products; a steam distillate of garlic (G. 0) containing essential garlic oils AND a freeze-dried garlic powder (G. P) have been studied with respect to their antimicrobial modes of action with reference to gut environments. Results obtained in this thesis indicate: - 1) A …

Anticarcinogenic, Antitumor, and Antifungal Properties of Allium Sativum (Garlic)
… of a crude extract and organosulfur compounds of garlic were determined. Diallyl sulfide (DAS), and ajoene each at 100 /xg/ml, and garlic extract (GE, 12.5 mg/ml) inhibited rat liver 9000 X g supernatant (S- 9) dependent mutagenesis in <em>Salmonella typhimurium</em> TA100 induced by either …

An investigation into the anti-cancer mechanism of garlic-related organosulfur compounds
Crushed garlic contains organosulfur compounds (OSC), which are reported to have cancer chemotherapeutic properties both in vitro and in vivo. A library of 15 organosulfur analogues were obtained as mechanistic probes in WHCO1 oesophageal cancer cells. Structure-activity studies showed a positive …

The role of reactive nitrogen species and aged garlic extract on platelet function
Natural therapies such as Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) have displayed cardioprotective properties, with studies indicating that AGE can inhibit platelet aggregation both in vivo and in vitro. The mechanism of inhibition induced by AGE is proposed to be due to AGE exerting effects upon several targets …

Mechanistic insights into the cancer cell cytotoxicity and blood stability of the garlic compound ajoene
Ajoene, a garlic-derived natural product and its structural analogues are strongly cytotoxic to cancer cells. These compounds are however known to exhibit low blood stability and erythrocyte toxicity. This thesis reports on the synthesis of eight ajoene analogues designed to probe …

Synthesis and mechanistic studies into the cytotoxic activity of garlic-related trisulfides in cancer cells
Garlic has long been recognized for its medicinal properties and is well-documented to produce organosulfur compounds (OSCs) with significant chemopreventive and therapeutic potential. Among these, trisulfides are notable phytochemicals that exhibit a broad range of biological activities, including …

Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum) Affects the Allelopathic and Competitive Abilities of Invasive Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) has been previously found to be significantly affected negatively by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum). While we could not significantly corroborate those findings we did find evidence that E. cruciferarum does inhibit A. petiolata’s allelopathic and …

Investigating the Influence of Fresh and Aged Garlic Extracts on the Biosynthesis of Trimethylamine N-Oxide
Introduction: Garlic-derived organosulfur compounds are associated with physiological benefits, including the reduction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, possibly by reducing the risk marker trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). TMAO production in humans is largely influenced by the metabolic activity …
