General description

Dipropyl disulfide (DPDS) was an efficient scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at a lower concentration in both HL-60 and HepG2 cells. It prevents the oxidative DNA damage caused by N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP) and N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA).

The antioxidative activity and ameliorative effects on memory impairment by sulfur-containing compounds which occur in Allium vegetables such as onion and garlic were investigated. The antioxidative activities of S-alk(en)yl-L-cysteines and their sulfoxides, volatile alk(en)yl disulfides and trisulfides, and vinyldithiins were

Diallyl disulfide (DADS), an oil-soluble organosulfur compound in processed garlic, was more effective in inhibiting the in vitro growth of human tumor cell lines: HCT-15 (colon), A549 (lung), and SK MEL-2 (skin) than isomolar quantities of the water-soluble compound S-allyl

The metabolism of dipropyl disulfide (DPDS), an Allium sulfur compound, was investigated in rat liver cell subfractions and in an isolated perfused rat liver. DPDS is oxidized to dipropyl thiosulfinate (DPDSO) by rat microsomes. The contribution of cytochrome P450 enzymes

Organosulfur compounds and sodium bisulfite significantly inhibited (P < 0.05) heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) formation in model systems containing phenylalanine, creatinine, and glucose. There was, however, no inhibition by the same compounds in a model system containing only phenylalanine and

Clinical efficacy of doxorubicin is compromised due to free radical generation leading to cardiac toxicity. Oil-soluble organosulfur compounds, diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), dipropyl sulfide (DPS) and dipropyl disulfide (DPDS), present in garlic were examined for their antiperoxidant effects.
