Safety & Health
- Safety
- In vitro citotoxicity study: Eight essential oils of L. origanoides and some of their main components were evaluated in vitro on tumor cell line HeLa and non-tumor cell line Vero to identify tumoural cytotoxic potential. The selectivity index (SI), defned as Vero IC50 on HeLa IC50, it was calculated in order to fnd oil or major components with selective tumor cytotoxic potential. The L. origanoides oil identifed as chemotype trans-f>-caryophyllene/p-cymene showed the highest cytotoxic activity on HeLa cells with IC50 value of 9.1 ± 1 μg/mL and selectivity index of 7.1. the IC50 values were higher than active oil. These results suggest that cytotoxic activities of the oils are not only due to their main components, but to a synergism among its components [7].
