Abstract
Eucalyptus species possess anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal properties. In this study, the chemical composition and biological activities of Eucalyptus cinerea essential oil HIGHLIGHTS Eucalyptus cinerea essential oil (EO) contains 1,8-cineole as the main component. This EO demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This EO reduced the viability of Jurkat and Calu-3 cells and decreased DNA content.
