Allyl mercaptan (AM) is a small molecule allyl derivative and an organosulfur compound derived from garlic and a few other genus Allium plants. Its formula is C₃H₆S. It has been shown to be the most effective HDAC inhibitor of known garlic-derived organosulfur compounds and their metabolites.{{cite journal|last1= Rajendran|first1=Praveen|last2=Ho|first2=Emily| last3=Williams| first3=David E|last4=Dashwood| first4=Roderick H|title=Dietary phytochemicals, HDAC inhibition, and DNA damage/repair defects in cancer cells|journal=Clinical Epigenetics|volume=3| issue=1|year=2011 |pages=4 |issn= 1868-7083|doi=10.1186/1868-7083-3-4|pmc =3255482| pmid=22247744 |doi-access=free }}
