Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Capacity, and Anticancerous Effects against Human Lung Cancer Cells of a Terpenoid-Rich Fraction of .

is a widely used plant in traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern medicine for various illnesses. has been shown to have anticancer effects against various cancers, but its effects against lung cancer have been under limited investigation. At the same time, is rich in terpenoids whose anti-lung cancer effects have been poorly investigated.

Determination of Antioxidant, Antihemolytic, and Anti-Cancerous Activities and Its Augmentation of Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity in A549 Lung Cancer Cells.

The anti-lung cancer properties of the plant have not been explored yet. Therefore, we identified its phytochemical composition and investigated the antioxidant, anti-hemolytic, and anti-cancerous properties of extracts of this plant in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells. The results show that all parts of (stems, leaves, and fruits) exhibit remarkable hemolytic activities and modest antioxidant capacity.
