<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>BS-24-1 cells (1,000,000 cells/mL) were incubated with <i>C. gileadensis</i> stem and leaf extracts (6 <i>μ</i>L/mL) for 17 h. DNA was separated and analyzed on agarose gel. Lanes 1–7 and 11: H<sub>2</sub>O-based stem extract. Lanes 8–10: H<sub>2</sub>O-based leaf extract. Lanes 12–18 and 22, ethanol-based stem extract. Lanes 19–21: ethanol-based leaf extract. Lanes 23 and 24: control cells treated with ethanol (0.05%) and water.</table>
