The cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of the essential oil on ras active (5RP7) and normal (F2408) fibroblasts were examined by MTT assay and acridine orange\/ethidium bromide staining, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The cytotoxicity of the oil was quite strong with IC(50) values less than 20 \u03bcg\/mL for both cell lines. 5RP7 cells were affected stronger than normal cells. Morphological observation of apoptotic cells indicated the induction of apoptosis at the high level of the oil, especially in 5RP7 cells.<\/p>\n<p>The present study showed the potential antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic properties of the essential oil of cinnamon bark, indicating the possibilities of its potential use in the formula of natural remedies for the topical treatment of infections and neoplasms.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2010 Mehmet Unlu, Emel Ergene, Gulhan Vardar Unlu, Hulya Sivas Zeytinoglu, Nilufer Vural; Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Cumhuriyet University, 58140 Sivas, Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The essential oil from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (cinnamon) was analyzed by GC-MS and bioassays were carried out.
