Legault J, Pichette A Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2017 ABSTRACT: Beta-caryophyllene is a sesquiterpene widely distributed in essential oils of various plants. Several biological activities are attributed to beta-caryophyllene, such as anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and local anaesthetic activities. In this work, the potentiating effect of beta-caryophyllene on the anticancer activity of alpha-humulene, isocaryophyllene and paclitaxel… Read more »
Antiallodynic effect of β-caryophyllene on paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice
Segat GC, Manjavachi MN, Matias DO, Passos GF, Freitas CS, Costa R, Calixto JB Neuropharmacology, 2017 ABSTRACT: Painful peripheral neuropathy is a common side effect of paclitaxel (PTX). The use of analgesics is an important component for management of PTX-induced peripheral neuropathy (PINP). However, currently employed analgesics have several side effects and are poorly effective. β-caryophyllene (BCP), a dietary selective CB2 agonist, has… Read more »
