Two novel, cysteine derivatives were isolated from the bulbs of Allium stipitatum (Allium sub) and shown to be S-(2-pyridyl)cysteine N-oxide and S-(2-pyridyl) glutathione N-oxide. The former compound is the first example of a naturally occurring alliinase substrate that contains an N-oxide functionality instead of the S-oxide group. In addition, S-methylcysteine S-oxide (methiin) and S-methyl thiomethyl)cysteine 4-oxide (marasmin) were found in the bulbs. The alliinase-mediated formation of pyridyl-containing compounds following disruption of A. stipitatum bulbs was studied by a combination of HPLC-MS, HPLC-PDA, DART-MS, and NMR techniques. No pyridyl-containing thiosulfinates are present in homogenized bulbs. Instead, various pyridine N-oxides such as N-hydroxypyridine-2(1H)-thione (pyrithione), 2-(methyldithio)pyridine N-oxide, 2-(methylthio) methyldithio]pyridine N-oxide, di(2-pyridyl) disulfide N-oxide, and di(2-pyridyl) disulfide N,N0-dioxide are reported.
