(±)-Alliin

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.Formal Name: S-2-propen-1-yl-L-cysteine, S-oxide.
