Cytotoxic Screening and Enhanced Anticancer Activity of Essential Oils-Loaded Biocompatible Lipid Nanoparticles against Lung and Colon Cancer Cells.

Plant and herbal essential oils (EOs) offer a wide range of pharmacological actions that include anticancer effects. Here, we evaluated the cytotoxic activity of EO from (chemotype linalool), (chemotype dihydrocarvone, LaDEO), (L.) (CnEO), , × , × , L.

Anti-cancer mechanisms of linalool and 1,8-cineole in non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells.

Linalool and 1,8-cineole are plant-derived isoprenoids with anticancer activities in lung cancer cells, nevertheless, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the anticancer mechanisms of action of linalool and 1,8-cineole in lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Linalool (0-2.

Citrus reticulata peel oil inhibits non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation in culture and implanted in nude mice.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most cases of lung cancer. The peel oil of mandarin Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Dancy (MPO) is a natural source of essential oils and carotenoids.

Modulation by geraniol of gene expression involved in lipid metabolism leading to a reduction of serum-cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Background: Geraniol (G) is a natural isoprenoid present in the essential oils of several aromatic plants, with various biochemical and pharmacologic properties. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of action of G on cellular metabolism are largely unknown.

Hypothesis/purpose: We propose that G could be a potential agent for the treatment of hyperlipidemia that could contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
