The Agarwood Oil From The Aquilaria Tree Possess Anti-Cancer Activity

Scientist have observed that the oil obtained by distillation of  Agarwood (Aquilaria tree) possess potential anti-cancer activity towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. 
Analysis of Agarwood oil against MCF-7 (breast cancer cells) with oil concentration at 44 μg/ml was able to inhibit 50% of control cell growth. 

In another observation scientist found that the agarwood essential oil caused reduction of the cell number in both the cell viability and attachment assay suggesting a cumulative effect of the cell killing, inhibition of the cell attachment and or causing cells to detach. The agarwood essential oil showed IC50 value of 900 μg/ml towards the cancer cells."
