Description

Paraffin oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that is liquid at room temperature and pressure. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of human osteosarcoma cells in vitro, with a potency corresponding to that of delphinidin, a natural compound found in plants. Paraffin oil also has an inhibitory effect on the mitochondrial membrane potential and on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 by HL-60 cells. This inhibition may be due to the ability of paraffin oil to bind to Toll-like receptors (TLRs). The molecular mechanism underlying this inhibition remains unknown. Paraffin oil can be used as a model system for epigenetic modulators because it induces histone acetylation, which alters gene expression.
