Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR110
Chemical Name : Allicin
Plant Source : Allium sativum
Nutraceutical information : Edible, Garlic, onion, leek, chives
Mode of administration : Oral
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Cardioprotective (activaes Nrf2/Keap1 pathway signaling, inhibits HMG-coa reductase, acetyl-coa synthase, squalene-monooxygenase, gpiib/iiia, upregulates Nrf2, γ-GCS, NQO1); Anti-cancer (downregulates Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, P13K/mtor pathway signaling, p53, VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2), inhibits HIF-1α, upregulates Nrf2 expression, Bax, Fas, ERK1/2, caspase-3,-8,-9, Beclin-1, AMPK/TSC2 signaling pathway, releases cyctochrome c, ); Antioxidant (inhibits NO, superpoxide radicals, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl free radicals); Anti-inflammatory (inhibits IL-1β, IL-10, MIG, NF-kb, inos, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, downregulates IL-8, IL-1β, iκb)
Description : Allicin, diallylthiosulfinate is a sulfur reactive species, which upon undergoing redox-reaction in protein and glutathione with thiols makes up for allicin biological activity, also releases S-allymercaptoglutathione which is responsible for its antioxidant properties. It makes up a major part of galic defence mechanism.
