A range of sulfur-containing natural products showed to inhibit their antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer properties, through specific chemical properties that converge in chemotypes, including polysulfides(1).

Garlic extracts and individual components, i.e., allicin, ajoene, polysulfides, essential oil, showed significant antifungal activity, according to Katedra farmaceutické botany an ecology Farmaceutické faculty University Karlovy(2).
