ABSTRACT

Eucalyptol, potentially known as 1,8-cineole is an active ingredient of a number of plant species which is mainly responsible for providing aromatic character to plants. 1,8-cineole can be found among more than 20 plant species and possess a number of biological activities which includes anticancer potential, analgesic action, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, helps in a number of neurodegenerative disorders, reduces cardiac hypertrophy, induces bronchodilator effect, effective as anti-anxiety agent and also possess lipid lowering potential. 1,8-cineole possess great pharmacological potential but much more is required to explore in this direction. This review focus on some of the plant species containing 1,8- cineole as an active ingredient and also the various pharmacological activities being reported till date. More research is needed in this field to explore various other unseen potential of 1,8- cineole by exploring various species of plants containing eucalyptol as an active ingredient.
