L-Deoxyalliin , also known as S-allyl-L-cysteine, is a water soluble organosulfur compound derived from garlic that has neuroprotective and antioxidative activities. N-Acetyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine is a principal metabolite of L-deoxyalliin in humans, mice, rats, and dogs. It is readily detected in plasma and urine. The conversion of L-deoxyalliin to N-acetyl-S-allyl-L-cysteine appears to be mediated by a family of flavin-containing monooxygenases.
Hederagenin 3-O-(2-O-acetyl-α-L-arabinopyranoside) significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and enhanced the protein expression levels of bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OC).
N-Carbamoyl-L-aspartic acid, an intermediate in pyrimidine metabolism, can be utilized to measure the enzyme activity of dihydroorotase (DHOse) [1] [2].
