  • Title: Inhibitory effect of methyl methanethiosulfinate on β-glucuronidase activity.
    Author: Watanabe Y, Muroi R, Tsuchiya H, Uda Y, Hashimoto K.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 2013; 77(11):2325-7. PubMed ID: 24200790.
    Abstract:
    Minced or cut-up leaves of Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Rottler) contain thiosulfinates and their disproportionate reaction products. Among these organosulfur compounds, methyl methanethiosulfinate was found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor of β-glucuronidase. Approximately 80% of the enzyme activity was inhibited by methyl methanethiosulfinate at 50 µM, the IC50 value being comparable to 3.6 µM.
