α-Pinene Induces Apoptotic Cell Death via Caspase Activation in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells

摘要

BackgroundThe plant-derived terpenoid, α-pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene potentially useful for the treatment of various diseases which also includes cancer and its types. The present investigation is about finding the anticancer activity of the α-pinene extracted from the leaves of Boswellia dalzielii over the PA-1 cancer cells of the human ovary.
