In the entry, it states that "Alliin is an amino acid that does not build proteins." I really don't see that from the structure of Alliin. There is no carboxyl or amine group! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.116.132 ( talk) 02:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
In the chemical equation for converting alliin to allicin, the molecule labeled as pyruvic acid is not pyruvic acid. 162.198.189.65 ( talk) 20:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Although the antibiotic properties seem to have been noted, there are a zillion products on the market boasting anything from "6mg potential allicin" to "600mg pure allicin powder". Is there any sort of study or even general consensus regarding the effectiveness or the different types, or reputable brands? I found one study here, ( http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00874666 ) but as you can see it doesn't even conclude until mid-2011.
RE: Recent revert of my addition of note about ajoene: Nowhere in this article is ajoene mentioned. Considering the close connection between allicin and ajoene (read the article), this seems negligent. As I understand, whenever allicin is dissolved in a lipid (such as an edible oil, as the article states), ajoene is formed. Since garlic is usually used in cooking, this is not far-fetched; think garlic in olive oil. Ajoene is a very close relative to allicin. 24.7.178.142 ( talk) 06:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if it was usable info,I'm just trying to help. :p-- Fireaxe888 ( talk) 08:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
In a rat study, allicin was found to be an activator of TRPA1. The neurons released neurotransmitters in the spinal cord to generate pain signals and released neuropeptides at the site of sensory nerve activation, resulting in vasodilation as well as inflammation.

Importance of Allicin Allicin is an important compound that finds its way into daily life. This article is fairly well written, but a little expansion wouldn't be bad. |

Take a look at this edit by Zefr and the reasons at edit summary: (→Research: rv Research section as the only studies are primary; no human evidence to date)
One of the two refs is a primary source, but not the other one, which is a Cochrane systematic review. There is no reason to delete the information supported by the Cochrane systematic review, so I will restore it.

Allicin is being studied for treatment of MRSA:
And the common cold:
Am not sure why two editors are making a fuss about not mentioning this. It's just informing the reader what allicin is being studied for.

In the ball-and-stick model used on the page, File:R-allicin-3D-balls.png, the double-bond between the sulfur and oxygen atoms in the thiosulfinate bond is poorly displayed—the one stick of the bond is almost occluded by the other, and while when viewing the image at full size, it is clear that the bond is a double bond, when the image is shrunk down as on this page, the few pixels of the occluded stick blend into their surroundings and the bond looks like a single bond. This confused me for quite a while. To improve the quality of this image, I would choose to take it from a different angle, orbiting the camera to the right of where it was for the particular picture that was taken—this would improve the visibility of the double bond.

An intermediate is shown as pyruvic acid. It is not. The nitrogen is shown correctly as coming off as ammonia. The nitrogen can't be in both molecules, the Pyruvic acid and ammonia. Tero111 ( talk) 12:05, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
