In vitro cytotoxicity and anticancer effects of citral nanostructured lipid carrier on MDA MBA-231 human breast cancer cells　2019　https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38214-x　citral (Cymbopogon citratus)has attracted great attention for its flavor and unique properties. Citral is one of the most abundant compounds extracted from the citrus based plants such as lemon and lemongrass. It is a monoterpene aldehyde consisting of isomers geranial and neral combination. The power of citral in combating cancer problem has attracted researchers to improve its efficacy as poor water solubility of citral has limited its anti-cancer therapeutic application.

Essential oil of C. citratus showed the highest ability to scavenge DPPH+ radicals (approximately 68% at 8 mg/mL) while C. giganteus exhibited the highest capability to reduce ABTS+ (0.59μmolET/g). The essential oil of C. citratus was the most effective on prostate cell lines LNCaP (IC50 = 6.36 μg/ml) and PC-3 (IC50 = 32.1 μg/ml), and on glioblastoma cell lines (SF-767 (IC50 = 45.13 μg/ml) and SF-763 (IC50 = 172.05 μg/ml). Interestingly, the activity of essential oil of C. citratus was statistically equal to that of its major component, citral. Combination of both oils showed antagonist, additive, indifferent and synergistic effects on LNCaP, PC-3, SF-767 and SF-763 cell lines, respectively.
