Abstract:

Allicin,which contains rich sulfide,is provided for prevention and treatment of tumor,anti inflammation,prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases,improving immunity and so on.Studies show that allicin can not only prevent many types of cancer,but also has obvious inhibitory effect on tumor.The mechanism is related with antioxidant effects,reducing the invasion of tumor cells,inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells,inducing tumor cell apoptosis and directly killing the tumor cells.This paper reviews the research progresses on antitumor allicin.

Key words: Allicin, Tumor, Cell cycle, Apoptosis, Cell proliferation
