Alliin is a cysteine sulfoxide constituent of garlic that is converted by alliinase to allicin, which imparts its pungent aroma and flavor. Alliin exhibits anti-cancer, anti-microbial, anti-hypertensive, cardioprotective, and anti-oxidant activities. It has been shown to inhibit squalene monooxygenase, a rate-limiting step in the downstream pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, with an IC50 value of 120 μM. | [Uses]
rac-Alliin has shown notable preventive effects on cardiac marker enzymes and lipids in isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury. rac-Alliin is also known to exhibit anticancer, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antioxidant activities. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 3-(Allylsulphinyl)-L-alanine is a L-alpha-amino acid. | [General Description]
Alliin is the precursor of allicin. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
S-Allyl-L-cysteine ((±)-L-Alliin) (SAC) may be used to study its potential as an anti-Alzheimer′s factor. SAC has been shown to increase cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation by increasing 5-HT(1A) and provide antioxidative benefit to neurons and synapses. | [References]
