Description

Alliin, an orally active sulfoxide compound that can be isolated from garlic, exhibits hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities[1][2].

In Vitro

Alliin (0-160 μM, 2 h) reduces lipid accumulation and ameliorates the cAMP Levels in 1,3-DCP-induced HepG2 cells[1].
Alliin (0-160 μM, 23 h) inhibits the expression levels of proteins and genes (SREBP-1, FAS, SREBP-2 and HMGCR) involved in AMPK–SREBPs signaling pathway in HepG2 Cells[1].
Alliin (100 μM, 6 h) inhibits p38, JNK and ERK1/2 phosphorylation and blocks MAPKs-mediated NF-κB/AP-1/STAT-1 signal transducer to improve the inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 10-1280 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h

Did not have cell toxicity at concentrations from 0 μM to 160 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: HepG2 cells
Concentration: 0-160 μM
Incubation Time: 23 h
Result: Increased the expression of p-AMPK and decreased the protein expression of AMPK at concentrations of 80 μM and 160 μM.
Inhibited the protein expression of SREBP-1, FAS, SREBP-2 and HMGCR by 1,3-DCP-induced at concentrations of 80 μM and 160 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: RAW264.7
Concentration: 100 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 6 h
Result: Inhibited the protein expression of iNOS, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and the production of NO.
Suppressed the expression of iNOS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 mRNAs.
Blocked JNK/ERK1/2-mediated transcriptional activation of PPARγ.
In Vivo

Alliin (500 mg/kg, i.g., 10 days) ameliorates colon damage and spleen changes in DSS colitis mouse model through reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (iNOS, TNF-α and IL-6) expression and inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38 and PPARγ[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: DSS colitis mouse model[2]
Dosage: 500 mg/kg
Administration: i.g., 10 days
Result: Decrease hematochezia symptom and diarrhea symptom.
Improved weight loss.
Reduced colon injury and inflammatory cell infiltration, restored the structure of colon epithelial and crypt.
Reduced the expression of iNOS, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNAs.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
