| Application: | Diallyl disulfide has been used: • to study its effects in apoptosis induction and cell viability on different glioma cell lines • as a treatment and positive control to assess the anti-inflammatory regulation of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor-2 (Nrf2) in breast cancer cells • as a potential substrate compound to detect hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production via lead acetate/lead sulfide method |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Diallyl disulfide is a potent anticancer agent. It can reduce carcinogen-induced cancers and shows anti-proliferative effects in both in vivo and in vitro models. DADS enhances the anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory effects of green tea in high-fat/high-sucrose (HF/HS) diet-fed mice. It also displays antioxidant, anti-microbial, cardiovascular protective, and neuroprotective activities. DADS elicits anti-mitotic and anti-neoplastic effects and arrests mitosis in colon neoplastic lesions in vivo and colon tumor cell growth in vitro experiments. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Organosulfur compound that is naturally found in garlic. Contributes to the pungent odor of crushed garlic. Anticancer agent and may provide protection against cardiovascular disease. |
| General description: | Diallyl disulfide (DADS) is an oil-soluble volatile organosulfur compound that can be naturally found in Allium sativum (garlic). It has a simple chemical structure with two sulfur atoms attached with two allyl groups. This constitute of garlic contributes to its pungent aroma. |
