Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the potential of essential oils from Monodora myristica, Xylopia aethiopica, and Xylopia parviflora as new anticancer therapies, particularly against breast cancer cells (MCF7).
- - Essential oils were analyzed using advanced techniques, revealing that they primarily contain monoterpenes, with significant cytotoxic effects observed on cancer cells compared to normal cells.
- - The oils from X. parviflora exhibited the highest selectivity and potency against the cancer cells, suggesting they warrant further research for their antineoplastic properties.
