Product Introduction

Citral AI Summary

Citral exhibits cytotoxicity against human HeLa cells with an IC50 value of 39.65 μg/mL, suggesting its potential to inhibit cancer cell growth effectively. It achieves up to 60% growth inhibition at concentrations of 10 to 30 μg/mL over a 3-day period, indicating promising anti-cancer properties. Additionally, Citral demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting ear and paw edema in mouse models and shows analgesic properties by reducing thermal allodynia. However, higher doses of Citral have been associated with toxicity, evidenced by altered latency times and changes in food and water consumption in Swiss mice. This compound presents a compelling candidate for further research in cancer and inflammatory treatments, although its toxicity at elevated doses warrants careful consideration..
