Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anticancer activity of bornyl caffeate in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.

Methods: The cell viability was determined using the MTT assay, and apoptosis was initially defined by monitoring the morphology of the cell nuclei and staining an early apoptotic biomarker with Annexin V-FITC. The mitochondrial membrane potential was visualized by JC-1 under fluorescence microscopy, whereas intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed by flow cytometry.
