Ajoene, a garlic-derived compound, is an antithrombotic and antifungal agent. Ajoene inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human leukaemia CD34-negative cells including HL-60, U937, HEL and OCIM-I. Anticancer activities^[1][2].

Ajoene shows cytotoxicity with IC₅₀s in the 7-41 uM range for B16/BL6, HT-29, A549, MDA-MB231, PANC-1, and SKBR-3 cells^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Ajoene (25 μg/g body weight of Ajoene in 100 mL Intralipid; i.p.; every other day from the day of inoculation up to day 28) inhibits both primary tumor growth^[1].
Ajoene (25, 15 or 5 μg/g body weight of Ajoene in 100 μL Intralipid; i.p; every other day over 4 weeks) inhibits strongly metastasis to lung in the B16/BL6 melanoma tumor model in C57BL/6 mice^[1].
