Twelve scientific, peer-reviewed publications since 1999 suggest that curcumin, the major yellow pigment in tumeric, curry and mustard, may potentiate apoptosis or inhibit growth of selected cancer cells or function as a COX-2 inhibitor in several in-vitro and animal models.</ | Twelve scientific, peer-reviewed publications since 1999 suggest that curcumin, the major yellow pigment in tumeric, curry and mustard, may potentiate apoptosis or inhibit growth of selected cancer cells or function as a COX-2 inhibitor in several in-vitro and animal models.</ | ||

+ | We identified four anti-inflammatory sulfur-containing compounds from garlic, and their chemical structures were identified as Z- and E-ajoene and oxidized sulfonyl derivatives of ajoene. The sulfur compounds inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, | ||

+ | The treatment of macrophages with ajoene resulted in the activation of JNK, induction of ROS synthesis and accumulation of ROS, possibly leading to the activation of ER stress and autophagy. These results reveal the mechanism of the antimycobacterial effects of ajoene against Mtb H37Rv. Our findings might facilitate the development of novel therapies for patients with TB (({{pmid> | ||

+ | In vitro, Ajoene is toxic for several tumoral cell lines, and exert an antiproliferative effect on T. cruzi and murine malaria parasites. Here we show that Ajoene strongly inhibited the proliferation induced in human lymphocytes by the mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA), phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and anti-CD3, and the capping formation induced in B lymphocytes by anti-IgM antibodies.

Among them, garlic essential oil exhibited the best activity as shown by the lowest residual viability of B. burgdorferi at 0.1%. (({{pmid> | ||

With herbs such as this, it is difficult to measure the active ingredient potency. Since it all comes from plants, they vary with growing conditions. For that reason, some brands may seem to work better than others. | With herbs such as this, it is difficult to measure the active ingredient potency.

The calculated affinity is high, at Ki = 54 nanomolar, about the same as the less effective ARBs and statins. As a result, only a very small amount of carnosic acid is needed to produce a negative effect. | The calculated affinity is high, at Ki = 54 nanomolar, about the same as the less effective ARBs and statins.
