| hydronium ion | |
| acetic acid | Product of the oxidation of ethanol and of the destructive distillation of wood. It is used locally, occasionally internally, as a counterirritant and also as a reagent. (Stedman, 26th ed) |
| Ammonium | |
| Carbon Dioxide | A colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals. |
| Hydrogen Peroxide | A strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective. It is relatively unstable and solutions deteriorate over time unless stabilized by the addition of acetanilide or similar organic materials. |
| Water | A clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) |
| Oxygen | An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. |
| methacrylyl-coenzyme A | |
| 3-vinyl-4H-1,2-dithiin | transformation product of allicin; found in garlic; structure given in first source |
| 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin | transformation product of allicin; found in garlic; structure given in first source |
| Pyruvic Acid | An intermediate compound in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In thiamine deficiency, its oxidation is retarded and it accumulates in the tissues, especially in nervous structures. (From Stedman, 26th ed) |
| alliin | nutritional supplement in diet; possible therapeutic use in anemia and splenic hypertrophy; structure |
| 2-propenesulfenic acid | an allicin decomposition product; structure in first source |
| formic acid | RN given refers to parent cpd |
| thiopropanal S-oxide | lachrymatory factor of onions; structure |
| glutamate | |
| ethanethiol | RN given refers to parent cpd; structure |
| allicin | antibacterial principle of Allium sativum (garlic); structure; TH - CIAF |
| Coenzyme A | |
| S-2-propenyl-L-cysteine | |
| Phytochelatins | Poly-glutathione peptides composed of (Glu-Cys)n-Gly where n is two to seven. They are biosynthesized by glutathione gamma-glutamylcysteinyltransferase and are found in many PLANTS; YEASTS; and algae. They sequester HEAVY METALS. |
