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:
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.
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:
The present invention relates to S-allylmercapto-N-acetylcysteine (ASSNAC) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates, which are useful for up-regulation of cellular glutathione levels and expression of phase II detoxifying enzymes. The invention further provides methods of use thereof in the prevention, alleviation or treatment of oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS).
摘要:
The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies specific for members of the Aspergillus genus and uses thereof for increasing the survival rate of a subject infected with an Aspergillus species. The present invention also provides conjugates of alliinase with monoclonal antibodies specific for members of the Aspergillus genus that preserve the ability of the antibody to recognize the fungus as well as the activity of the enzyme to produce cytotoxic molecules of allicin from the substrate alliin. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the conjugates of the mAbs of the invention and alliinase and uses thereof in combination with the substrate alliin in the treatment of diseases cause by Aspergillus species, in particular invasive aspergillosis.
