摘要:
Conjugates of the enzyme alliinase with a protein carrier that targets the alliinase to specific cells are used in combination with alliin to produce allicin at a desired target site. The enzyme converts alliin to allicin at the target site to kill cancer cells or pathogens.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for: (a) protecting agricultural crops, particularly fruits and vegetables, against insects, by treating the crops with allicin prior to harvesting; (b) protecting fruits and vegetables from decay and extending the shelf life thereof by treating the fruits and vegetables with allicin after harvesting; and (c) repelling insects such as ants or insects that attack agricultural crops from an object or an area, which comprises treating the object or area with a repelling effective amount of allicin.
摘要:
The invention provides novel mercaptopurine derivatives, e.g., S-allylthio-6-mercaptopurine and S-allylthio-6-mercaptopurine 9-riboside, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof. These compounds are highly efficient anti-proliferative agents, thus can be useful for treatment of various diseases or disorders, in particular, proliferative, inflammatory, skin and immune diseases or disorders.
摘要:
A novel process of preparing allyl-containing asymmetric disulfides, and particularly therapeutically active allyl-containing asymmetric disulfides such as allylmercaptocaptopril (CPSSA) is disclosed.
摘要:
Compounds which are the reaction product of allicin and ACE-inhibiting compounds are useful in treating hypertension, elevated triglycerides, and elevated insulin.
摘要:
Immobilized garlic alliinase wherein the alliinase is chemically, physically or biologically immobilized, is useful in a method for continuous production of allicin. The method comprises adding a solution of alliin as substrate to a column containing the immobilized garlic alliinase and collecting pure allicin in the effluent. The pure allicin is intended for use as food additive or for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections, high levels of cholesterol and blood lipids, high blood pressure and thrombosis.
