Atypical Cyclic Sulfides, Garlicnins G, I, and J, Extracted from Allium sativum

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2017;65(1):102-106. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c16-00648.

Abstract

Newly characterized, atypical sulfides, garlicnins G (1), I (2), and J (3), were isolated from the acetone extracts of garlic bulbs, Allium sativum. Their production pathways are regarded as different from those of cyclic sulfoxides, 3,4-dimethyltetrahydrothiophene-S-oxide derivatives such as onionins A1-A3, garlicnins B1-B4 and C1-C3.
