Inhibition of in vitro platelet aggregation by onion and garlic oils was accompanied by decreased formation of thromboxane B 2 (TXB 2) and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) from [1-14 C] arachidonic acid (AA). At intermediate concentrations (10–30 μg ml), these oils also induced a redistribution of the products of the lipoxygenase pathway; at higher concentrations (30–60 μg ml), they completely suppressed the formation of all oxygenase products. Measurements of oxygen consumption in antimycin-treated platelets indicated a direct correlation between inhibition of platelet fatty acid oxygenases and the anti-aggregating activity of these oils. Onion and garlic oils also inhibited fatty acid oxygenases from sheep vesicular gland preparations as shown both by decreased oxygen consumption and decreased formation of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) and PGD 2 from [1-14 C] AA. Onion oil was approximately ten times more effective in inhibiting the platelet oxygenases than the oxygenases from the vesicular gland. In addition, these oils suppressed the soybean lipoxygenase-catalyzed oxygenation of AA. In all three enzyme systems, onion oil exhibited greater inhibitory activity than garlic oil. Many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic drugs act by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase component of the prostaglandin and thromboxane synthetases. Our findings thus suggest that onion and garlic contain compounds that may have serendipitous pharmacological effects.
