Product Description
Application:
Diallyl sulfide is a modulator of drug metabolizing enzyme P450 system and inducer of the phase II detoxifying enzyme GST. Diallyl sulfide is also an inhibitor of CYP2E1 and believed to prevent chemically-induced carcinogenesis in many tissues. It is also used as a food additive. It is also used as an important raw material and intermediate used in organic Synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as allyl sulfur compounds. These are compounds containing an allylsulfur group, with the general structure H2C(=CH2)CS.
