Abstract

Garlic is one of the oldest medicines in the world and has been used not only as a flavoring but also as a medicinal herb for its prophylactic and therapeutic actions. The beneficial effects of most garlic are due to the presence of the organosulfate allicin (ALC) molecule. Computational quantum chemistry, specifically the Hyperchem software, was used in addition to other simulators. The most essential methodology was the calculation of the electron transfer coefficient (ETC). ALC is ranked 20th in the quantic well. This location, for ALC, means that it does not act for long within the human body. It is generally observed that the ALC molecule presents a quantum superposition because both the HOMO and the LUMO are located in the same atoms. It is inferred that the ALC molecule forms spheres due to this overlap. The interactions of pure AAs form proteins, and ALC attacks proteins by breaking their AAs sequencing. These observations conclude that ALC can be a potent insecticide, bactericide, and fungicide. In humans, ALC can destroy cancerous tissues or tumors.
