| Bioactivity | Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate) is isolated from garlic including Diallyl monosulfide, Diallyl disulfide, Diallyl trisulfide, Diallyl tetrasulfide, and Methyl allyl disulphide etc. They accounts for 98% of the extract. Allicin (diallyl thiosulfinate) has highly potent antimicrobial activity, and inhibits growth of a variety of microorganisms, among them antibiotic-resistant strains[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Allicin exhibits comparable MICs (32-64 μg/mL) toward methicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC 43300, the type strain S. aureus DSM 20231, E. coli DSM 30083, A. baumannii DSM 30007, and C. albicans DSM 1386[1]. |
