What is it about?

Even if local people still exploit native plants or plant products, based on their traditional knowledge, to treat a number of diseases, the information on the action mechanisms of these ethnomedicines and their bioactive components is still scant. Anyway, these remedies have recently received the interest of scientists and pharmaceutical industries, as a source of new, alternative, promising and, possibly, low-cost active ingredients to be developed. In these terms, the essential oil of S. intermedia has the potential of fulfilling these expectations, by virtue of its anticancer activity, though further preclinical studies are needed in order to assess its efficacy and safety.
