Induction of apoptosis by essential oil from P. missionis in skin epidermoid cancer cells

ConclusionThe present study revealed cancer chemotherapeutic potential of EO from P. missionis. EO induces cell death through intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic apoptotic pathway in A431 and HaCaT cells. These results suggest that EO could be used as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of skin epidermoid cancer.Graphical abstract
