Beschreibung

Eugenol is a phenolic compound and the main active ingredient of clove oil. Eugenol has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties. It also inhibits the growth of cancer cells in vitro (mcf-7 cells). The mechanism of eugenol’s activity is not well understood. It may involve activation of adenine nucleotide levels by inhibiting the production of p-hydroxybenzoic acid or by increasing nucleotide levels by inhibiting the conversion to p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Eugenol also inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are enzymes that maintain the integrity of bacterial DNA. This inhibition leads to cell death by inhibiting protein synthesis. Eugenol has been shown to inhibit mineralization in petunia plants and may have a similar effect on human bone tissue.
