Diallyl disulfide
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Diallyl disulfide is an orally active decomposition product of allicin and has a pungent odor. Diallyl disulfide can act as a hydrogen sulfide donor. Diallyl disulfide has inhibitory activity against squalene monooxygenase with an IC50 of 400 μM. Diallyl disulfide can alleviate the cytotoxicity and apoptosis of intestinal and liver cells induced by Ethyl Carbamate (HY-B1207). Diallyl disulfide can prevent emphysema induced by cigarette smoke. Diallyl disulfide also has anti-colon cancer and anti-inflammatory neurogenic activities, and can reverse the depressive-like behavior of mice.

Diallyl disulfide (30-240 μM; 12-48 h) suppresses HT-29 cell growth[2].
Diallyl disulfide (30-120 μM; 24 h) induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M-phase in HT-29 cells in a concentration-independent manner[2].
Diallyl disulfide (120 μM) induces the mRNA levels of ARPC3, SPINT2, SOD1, p21 and TACSTD2[2].
Diallyl disulfide (10-120 μM; 24 h) can protect Caco-2 and HepG2 cells from the cytotoxicity induced by ethyl carbamate. Compared with the group exposed to ethyl carbamate alone, it can significantly increase the cell survival rate[5].
Diallyl disulfide (10-40 μM; 24 h) can reduce the ROS production induced by carbamate exposure for 24 hours in Caco-2 and HepG2 cells[5].
Diallyl disulfide (10-40 μM; 24 h) can protect Caco-2 and HepG2 cells from the apoptosis and necrosis induced by carbamate. Compared with the group exposed to carbamate alone, it can significantly reduce the proportion of apoptotic and necrotic cells[5].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
