Abstract
The anti-cancer effects of oil-soluble organosulfur compounds in garlic in the initiation phase of carcinogenesis are known. However, there are few experimental studies investigating S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), a water-soluble derivative of garlic. This study investigated whether SAMC prevented the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) from inducing precancerous activity in human lung cells (A549 cell line). A549 cells were either pre-treated...
