Garlic compound may help treat cancer

br>
Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese and Indians used garlic for centuries for treating various ailments such as heart disease, arthritis, pulmonary complaints, abdominal growths (particularly uterine) and worm infestation. It was in 1958 that its anti-tumour properties were clearly documented.

Garlic has more than 30 different organosulphur compounds. Many of these can inhibit the proliferation whereas some of them can induce apoptosis (a form of programmed cell death) in cancer cells, Karunagaran said.

The main clue from the present invention is that a composition comprising a garlic organosulphur compound together with an anti-cancer agent may work well for treatment of tumors, he said.

However, these data are mainly based on in vitro studies and extending them to the patient level takes time and should involve further studies including human clinical trials, he said.
