Allixin induction and accumulation by light irradiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Allixin, a phytoalexin isolated from garlic, was induced by irradiating fresh garlic cloves with sunlight or UV light. Induced allixin was analyzed by HPLC, and the accumulated amounts of allixin were 3.1-6.3 microg/g under experimental conditions.

Allixin accumulation with long-term storage of garlic.
Extremely high accumulation of allxiin, a phytoalexin derived from garlic, was observed in necrotic tissue areas after long-term storage. The allixin produced recrystallized on the surface of the garlic clove. The amount of allixin produced in raw garlic with necrotic tissue areas was 1400 ng/mg wet garlic, which exceeds the minimum exhibitory concentration of allixin. After approximately 2 yea...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effect of light, phenylalanine and caffeic acid on the production of phenolic acids in cell suspension culture of Salvia leriifolia
Abstract: Salvia leriifolia is a medicinal plant belonging to lamiaceae family. In this study, the influence of light, phenylalanine and caffeic acid on cell growth and accumulations of phenolic acids were investigated. For this propose, the leaf explants were cultured in MS medium supplemented with BAP and NAA for callus induction. A cell suspension culture of S. leriifolia derived from lea...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic study of allixin, a phytoalexin produced by garlic.
The pharmacokinetic behavior of allixin (3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methyl-2-penthyl-4H-pyran-4-one) was investigated in an experimental animal, mice. Allixin was administered using an inclusion compound because the solubility of allixin in aqueous solution is very low. The allixin content in serum and in the organs of administered animals was analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC)-MS. Most of the a...
متن کاملStructure based virtual screening of anticanerous polyphenolic phytocompounds against G-protein coupled receptor and identification of potent antagonist ligand(s) through molecular docking
Design of potential drug-like candidates for cancer is of interest in recent years. We used 60 compounds which are known to have the potential to down regulate Nuclear Factor kappaB (NFκB) for this study. The compounds were assessed for Lipinski's RO5 and ADMET properties. Allixin, anethole, capsaicin, linearol and syringic acid satisfied both Lipinski's RO5 and ADMET properties. These compound...
متن کاملAllixin, a phytoalexin produced by garlic, and its analogues as novel exogenous substances with neurotrophic activity.
Effects of allixin, a phytoalexin of garlic, and its analogues were studied on the survival and morphology of primary cultured neurons from fetal rat brain. Addition of allixin (1-100 ng/ml) to medium significantly promoted the survival of neurons derived from various regions of brain and increased the number of branching points per axon in hippocampal neurons. Allixin, however, was cytotoxic a...
