Growth inhibitory effect of C. gileadensis essential oil on two tumor cell lines. The cells were plated at a concentration of 500,000 cells/mL and incubated with citral ( μM), STS (2 μM) and three concentrations of essential oil from C. gileadensis (named here gilead oil) for 2 h. Control cells were treated with ethanol (0.05%) alone.
