Diallyl tetrasulfide
Diallyl tetrasulfide is an orally active diallyl tetrasulfide. Diallyl tetrasulfide ameliorates cadmium-induced changes in acetylcholinesterase and adenosine triphosphatase activities as well as oxidative stress injury in the brain of rats. Diallyl tetrasulfide inhibits lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. Diallyl tetrasulfide ameliorates cadmium-induced oxidative liver injury in rats. Diallyl tetrasulfide protects cells against cadmium-induced loss of cell viability, reduces apoptosis rate and ROS production. Diallyl tetrasulfide is applicable to research related to cadmium-induced neurotoxicity and cadmium-induced oxidative liver injury.

Biological Activity
Diallyl tetrasulfide (25 μg/mL; 3 h) inhibits lipid peroxidation when co-incubated with rat liver microsomes treated with ascorbic acid/Fe2+[2].
Diallyl tetrasulfide (5-50 μg/mL; 18 h) dose-dependently protects Vero cells against cadmium-induced loss of cell viability[4].
Diallyl tetrasulfide (40 μg/mL; 18 h) reduces the cadmium-induced apoptosis rate of Vero cells by 75%, decreases the intracellular accumulation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide, and protects cells from cadmium-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential[4].
Diallyl tetrasulfide (10-40 μg/mL; 30 min) significantly reduces cadmium-induced intracellular ROS production in Vero cells[4].
