Talk:Ajoene

Untitled
I have read (the author was Dr Eric Block)that ajoene helps apoptosis (celldeath)of lymphocytes. It was therefore recommended for use by patients in the early stages of chronic lymphocytic leucaemia.

Chemical Bond?
What kind of chemical bond is that right in the middle where 2 carbon bonds 'cross'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.56.64 (talk) 23:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the systematic name it should be a double bond. There is a similar image with the correct bond, so I put that one into the article. --Szaszicska (talk) 19:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Is really an antioxidant? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26468015 This paper might be helpful to clarify the role of ajoene in cancer progression, specifically in lung cancer. It seems that in this tissue, ajoene promotes reactive oxigen species (ROS), therefore acting as a pro-oxidant, rather than anti-oxidant — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.61.131.136 (talk) 19:55, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
