<i>β</i>-Caryophyllene, a Compound Isolated from the Biblical Balm of Gilead (<i>Commiphora gileadensis</i>), Is a Selective Apoptosis Inducer for Tumor Cell Lines

<table>Growth inhibitory effect of ethanol-based <i>Commiphora gileadensis</i> stem extract on two tumor cell lines. Extract concentrations shown on <i>x</i>-axis are in <i>μ</i>L/mL. The cells were plated at a concentration of 500,000 cells/mL and incubated with and without stem extract for 17 h. Control cells were treated with ethanol (0.05%) alone.</table>
