Assessment of in vitro and in silico Antiproliferative Effects of p-Cymene and Its Naturally Occurring 7-Oxygenated Derivatives on Human Cancer Cell Lines

Excepting cumin aldehyde, the lack of the antiproliferation potential of these p-cymene derivatives was extensively demonstrated for the first time. Cuminaldehyde induced toxicity in a lung adenocarcinoma line, corroborating the literature. Six selective and three specific cell lines were proposed to evaluate the anticancer activity of the compounds in addressed studies, mainly involving those with Pa≥0.50. The inhibition of five targets seems to play a role in inducing HCCL antiproliferation. The ADMET estimated that cumin aldehyde, cuminol, and sodium cuminate are the safest compounds for human use.
