Description
Oleocanthal is a naturally occurring secoiridoid from olive oil, which was shown to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective activities. The anti-inflammatory activity of oleocanthal is due to its dose dependent inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1, COX-2) enzymes in the prostaglandin biosynthesis (inflammatory) in the same pathway as Ibuprofen. Anti-leishmanial activity was recently attributed to Oleocanthal when added in vitro and in vivo, in experimental models of Leishmania infection.
