Common Namecis-Ajoene
DescriptionAjoene, also known as trans-ajoene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sulfoxides. Sulfoxides are compounds containing a sulfoxide functional group, with the structure RS(=O)R' (R,R' not H). Ajoene is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ajoene is also found in garlic extract. Outside of the human body, Ajoene has been detected, but not quantified in, soft-necked garlics. This could make ajoene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. For example, Ajoene has been shown to have activity against the human dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum, the most common cause of tinea pedis, commonly known as Athlete's Foot. The structure of ajoene was determined and it was synthesized based on biosynthetic considerations in 1984, correcting an incorrect structure published in 1983. Ajoene also has antithrombotic (anti-clotting) properties, which helps prevent platelets in the blood from forming blood clots, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke in humans. cis-Ajoene was first documented in 1993 (PMID: 8328978). In a randomized study by Ledezma et al (2000), 70 soldiers from the Venezuelan Armed Forces with KOH or culture proven tinea pedis interdigitalis were randomly distributed into 3 treatment groups: 0.6% Ajoene, 1% ajoene, and 1% terbinafine (commercially available as Lamisil AT®) applied twice daily for 1 week (PMID: 8900018) (PMID: 16854181) (PMID: 20108330) (PMID: 8415808).
