Stabilised allicin has now been formulated into an active range of

products called Allimed™. Powdercapsules, liquid, soap and cream

presentations all show highly significant activity against multi-

drug

resistant organisms including MRSA.

 

The mechanism of action of allicin may be due to inhibition of

certain

thiolcontaining enzymes in the microorganisms by the rapid reaction

of

thiosulfinates with thiol groups. This was assumed to be the main

mechanism involved in the antibiotic effect of allicin.

 

Recent studies have suggested that the mechanism of action of

Allicin

may be its ability to react with a model thiol compound ( L-

cysteine )

to form the S-thiolation product S-allylmercaptocysteine.
