General description

Dipropyl disulfide (DPDS) was an efficient scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at a lower concentration in both HL-60 and HepG2 cells. It prevents the oxidative DNA damage caused by N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP) and N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA).

The metabolism of dipropyl disulfide (DPDS), an Allium sulfur compound, was investigated in rat liver cell subfractions and in an isolated perfused rat liver. DPDS is oxidized to dipropyl thiosulfinate (DPDSO) by rat microsomes. The contribution of cytochrome P450 enzymes

Organosulfur compounds and sodium bisulfite significantly inhibited (P < 0.05) heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) formation in model systems containing phenylalanine, creatinine, and glucose. There was, however, no inhibition by the same compounds in a model system containing only phenylalanine and

Head space volatiles, including 73% di-n-propyl disulfide, were collected from freshly crushed neem seeds. This compound along with previously reported diallyl disulfide (di-2-propenyl disulfide) were toxic when applied topically or as a fumigant to Tribolium castaneum adults and 8-, 12-

The present in vivo studies demonstrated that diallyl disulfide (DADS), occurring in garlic, elevated hepatic sulfane sulfur level and activities of gamma-cystathionase and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfotransferase in healthy mice but did not affect the hepatic glutathione level. DADS efficiently corrected the
