Abstract
Onionin A (1), a new, stable, sulfur-containing compound, was isolated from acetone extracts of bulbs of onion (Allium cepa), and its structure was characterized as 3,4-dimethyl-5-(1E-propenyl)-tetrahydrothiophen-2-sulfoxide-S-oxide, on the basis of the results of spectroscopic analysis. This compound showed the potential to suppress tumor-cell proliferation by inhibiting the polarization of M2 alternatively activated macrophages.Entities:
