Allixin is a phytoallexin found in garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs. Allixin has weak antimicrobial activity and exerts an anti-promoting activity against skin tumors induced by the chemical 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Allixin also demonstrates an inhibitory effect on aflatoxin B1-induced mutagenesis.
Selective bradykinin B2 receptor agonist that is resistant to carboxypeptidase cleavage. 5-fold more potent and exhibits a more prolonged duration of action than bradykinin in vivo.
Bradykinin (1-6) is an amino-truncated Bradykinin peptide and a stable metabolite of Bradykinin, cleaved by carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). This fragment of Bradykinin activates pain receptors and induces smooth muscle contraction.
