Impact of allicin on macrophage activity

2012-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Allicin (diallyl thiosulphinate) is the main antimicrobial constituent of garlic. It has been suggested for use as an antibiotic, or for treating diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Yet, several lines of evidence indicate that allicin affects cells of the immune system. Therefore, this study investigates its impact on macrophages, using the murine Raw 264.7 cell line. Half-maximal allicin toxicity occurred aroun...
