Abstract 3211: Citral is the major component of ginger-derived terpenes to mediate p53-dependent apoptosis in cancer cells
Steam distillation of ginger yields a mixture of twenty two terpenes. This mixture has anti-proliferative effect on over fifteen different human and mouse cancer cell lines tested in our previous studies. Since the mixture is heterogeneous, it cannot be developed into a therapeutic drug. Hence, we tested individual terpenes from the ginger extract to identify its bioactive component(s). Camphene and alpha-pinene together constitute 10% of the ginger terpene extract and have no effect on cancer cell proliferation.
