claimEugenol, ursolic acid, linalool, and isoeugenol exhibit anti-neoplastic and anticancer properties by restricting cancer cell growth through apoptosis induction, cellular blockade, and inhibition of DNA synthesis, specifically demonstrating cytotoxic activity against Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 cells.
claimEucalyptol, linalool, methyl eugenol, estragole, germacrene, and α-bergamotene exhibit immunomodulatory activity by stimulating immune cell proliferation, modulating cell-mediated and humoral immune responses, and stimulating anti-inflammatory cytokines.
claimEugenol, linalool, estragole, 1,8-cineole, and α-terpineol in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit anti-bacterial activity by degrading bacterial cell walls, damaging cytoplasmic membrane proteins, binding proteins, causing leakage of cell contents, coagulating cytoplasm, and depleting the proton motive force, according to Opalchenova et al. and Adiguzel et al.
claimEugenol, linalool, and rosmarinic acid provide cardioprotective and hepatoprotective benefits by preventing hyperlipidemia, protecting hepatic tissue from oxidant damage, and preventing hepatic fibrosis.
claimEstragole, linalool, eugenol, and methyl cinnamate in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit anti-fungal activity by reducing DNA binding formation of aflatoxins, reacting with reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased by aflatoxins, and inhibiting mycelium growth, spore germination, and germ tube elongation, according to Gucwa et al. and Nugroho et al.
claimEugenol, apigenin, linalool, and ursolic acid in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit antiviral activity by preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells, and by inhibiting hepatitis B virus production through interference with viral infection and replication, according to Chiang et al. and Chattopadhyay et al.
claimEugenol, linalool, methyl eugenol, anthocyanins, and 1,8-cineole exhibit anti-ulcer activity by decreasing pepsin and acid production, and providing lipoxygenase inhibitory, histamine antagonistic, and antisecretory effects.
claimLinalool and eugenol found in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit analgesic activity by inducing inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase activity and inhibiting pain mediator biosynthesis, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and opioid receptor interactions, according to Govindarajan et al.
claimRosmarinic acid, estragole, linalool, eugenol, methyl cinnamate, linoleic acid, α-cadinol, and α-bergamotene exhibit antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and protecting against oxidative stress through the increase of antioxidative defense enzymes.
measurementLinalool found in Ocimum basilicum Linn. has the chemical formula C10H18O, a molecular weight of 154.25, and the identifier 6549.
claimLinalool and ketones (2-dodecanone, pulegone) in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit larvicidal, insecticidal, and anti-parasitic activity by acting upon the biosynthesis of isoprenoid, which restricts the growth of the malarial parasite.
measurementLinalool found in Vitex negundo Linn. has the chemical formula C10H18O, a molecular weight of 154.25, and the identifier 6549.
claimEugenol, linalool, and estragole in Ocimum basilicum Linn. show broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic strains of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, according to Sakkas et al.
claimEstragole, methyl cinnamate, methyl eugenol, α-bergamotene, α-cadlnol, linalool, eugenol, and linoleic acid in Ocimum basilicum Linn. exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators, stimulating anti-inflammatory cytokines, decreasing nitric oxide production, and inhibiting lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes, according to Mueller et al., Umamageswari et al., and Eftekhar et al.
claimApigenin, linalool, and eugenol possess anti-osteoporotic effects by inducing apoptosis in mature osteoclasts, inhibiting bone resorption, and inducing osteoblastic differentiation.
