Biological Activity

Description S-Allyl cysteine (SAC, S-Allylcysteine), a natural constituent of fresh garlic, has antioxidant and anticancer properties in animals. S-Allyl cysteine has an anticancer effect through the induction of apoptosis and a cell cycle arrest.
In vitro S-Allyl cysteine (SAC) could suppress NF-κB activation and lower nitric oxide (NO) production in interferon-γ-stimulated RAW264.7 cells[2]. SAC is known for its anti-apoptotic and antioxidant effects in a range of types of somatic cells. SAC manifests antioxidant properties for example in the nervous and cardiovascular systems[3].
In vivo SAC significantly prevents NSAID-induced gastric ulceration by blocking inflammation[1]. The dietary intake of SAC suppresses protein expression of NF-κB, MAPK, and PKC in kidney of diabetic mice, which in turn declines renal activity and mRNA expression of NOS and COX-2, finally lowers the formation of ROS, nitric oxide, IL-6, TNF-α, and PGE2, as well as improves renal functions. Therefore, SAC is potent anti-inflammatory agents against diabetic nephropathy[2].
