Dipropyl disulfide is an organosulfide found in Allium that exhibits antioxidative, anti-hyperlipidemic, and chemopreventive activities. Dipropyl disulfide induces phase II enzymes, increasing levels of glutathione-S-transferase in vitro. Dipropyl disulfide also decreases N-nitrosamine-induced DNA damage in vitro and suppresses benzo[a]pyrene-induced carcinogenesis in vivo. Additionally, this compound also inhibits cholesterol synthesis in vivo at low concentrations.
