General description

Allyl disulfide is naturally found in Allium species such as garlic and onion. It is used as a flavoring agent in meat and condiments.

Application


  • Paving New Roads Using Allium sativum as a Repurposed Drug and Analyzing its Antiviral Action Using Artificial Intelligence Technology.: Investigates the antiviral properties of Allium sativum (garlic), which is known to contain allyl disulfide. This study utilizes AI technology to analyze the mechanisms and efficacy of garlic as a repurposed drug for treating viral infections (Atoum MF et al., 2022).

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.
