Özet

Garlic, scientifically known as Allium sativum, is a plant belonging to the Liliaceae family.

It has been used for many years due to its diverse biological and therapeutic

characteristics. These vegetables are rich in organosulfur compounds (OSCs)1,2,3. The

aim of this study is to investigate the anticancer effects of natural organosulfur

compounds originating from our country. The anticancer properties of Kastamonu

Taşköprü garlic were assessed applying both water-soluble and oil-soluble extraction

techniques. Anticancer effects were examined on NIH/3T3 (ATCC; CRL-1658), Caco-2

human colorectal cancer (ATCC; HTB-37), and MCF-7 human breast cancer (ATCC; HTB-

22) cell lines. According to these extraction methods, the cell viability and cytotoxic

effects of the extractions were analysed. As a result of the examination of anticancer

effects, it was determined that the anticancer effects of Kastamonu Taşköprü garlic

soluble in oil had higher anticancer effects than water-soluble garlic extracts.
