Antifungal activity of ajoene derived from garlic

S Yoshida et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1987 Mar.

Abstract

The antifungal activity of six fractions derived from garlic was investigated in an in vitro system. Ajoene had the strongest activity in these fractions. The growth of both Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans was inhibited by ajoene at less than 20 micrograms/ml.
