Lavender oil anti-oxidative and anti-tumor activity

Antioxidant and Anti-tumor efficacy of commercial lavender oil has been studied on Human Hepatocyte cancer cell line HCAM with eight concentration (0,5, 6, 7, 8, 10,12 & 20 ) µg/ml. Cell viability was measured after 48hrs. Result show the Rate of growth viability of HCAM cell line treated with eight concentration of Lavender oil IC50= 7.916 µg/ml. Acridine / ethidium bromide is used to identify changes in cancer cell membranes during programmed cell death. That showed stages of programmed death of Tumor cells : as the oil extract destroys plasma membrane thus its death completely. antioxidant activity of lavender oil showed the high value of oil extract as antioxidant it's no reactive oxygen species (ROS) content.
