A Garlic Derivative, S-allylcysteine (SAC), Suppresses Proliferation and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly malignant and metastatic. Currently, there is no effective chemotherapy for patients with advanced HCC leading to an urgent need to seek for novel therapeutic options. We aimed to investigate the effect of a garlic derivative, S-allylcysteine (SAC), on the proliferation and metastasis of HCC. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A series of in vit...
متن کاملChemopreventive effect of S-allylcysteine and its relationship to the detoxification enzyme glutathione S-transferase.
Sulfur-containing substances derived from garlic and onion have been shown to prevent experimental carcinogenesis. One of the hypotheses explaining the mechanisms of the chemopreventive activity of these substances is that they activate detoxification systems such as glutathione S-transferase (GST). In this study the effects of S-allylcysteine (SAC), a water-soluble organosulfur compound derive...
متن کاملThe Effect of Garlic Derivatives (S-Allylmercaptocysteine, Diallyl Disulfide, and S-Allylcysteine) on Gentamicin Induced Ototoxicity: An Experimental Study
OBJECTIVES Gentamicin is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic. Ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity are the main side effects which restrict the use of gentamicin. Garlic with its intrinsic antioxidant activity may prove beneficial in prevention from ototoxicity. S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), diallyl disulfide (DD), and S-allylcysteine (SAC) are three active compounds found in garlic. In this study, ...
متن کاملProtective effect of S-allylcysteine and lycopene in combination against N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced genotoxicity.
Chemoprotection by diet-derived antioxidants has emerged as a cost-effective approach in preventing genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of S-allylcysteine (SAC) and lycopene against N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced genotoxicity. Quantification of bone marrow micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in male Wistar rats was use...
متن کاملAltered cytokeratin expression during chemoprevention of hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis by S-allylcysteine.
We examined the effect of S-allylcysteine (SAC), a water-soluble garlic constituent, on cytokeratin expression, a sensitive and specific marker for differentiation status during 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch (HBP) carcinogenesis in male Syrian hamsters. Hamsters were divided into four groups of six animals each. Animals in group 1 were painted with a 0.5% so...
