General description
Phytol is a diterpene alcohol commonly used as an aromatic ingredient in many fragrance compounds. In nature, it is found as a part of chlorophyll, vitamin K, vitamin E, and other tocopherols. Some of its lipophilic analogs show potent antitubercular activity.
Application
- Zein/fucoidan-coated phytol nanoliposome: preparation, characterization, physicochemical stability, in vitro release, and antioxidant activity.: This article explores the development of phytol-loaded nanoliposomes, evaluating their stability, release profile, and antioxidant activity, demonstrating their potential in pharmaceutical applications (Chen et al., 2024).
- Ethanolic extract of Euphorbia royleana Boiss. reduces metastasis of breast cancer cells and inhibits tumor progression in vivo.: This research demonstrates the anti-cancer properties of Euphorbia royleana, with phytol identified as one of the active compounds contributing to the inhibition of cancer cell metastasis and tumor progression (Gull et al., 2024).
