Potential Uses of Olive Oil Secoiridoids for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer: A Narrative Review of Preclinical Studies

Abstract: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a combination of foods mainly rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients that have been shown to have many health-enhancing effects. Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) is an important component of the MD. The importance of EVOO can be attributed to phenolic compounds, represented by phenolic alcohols, hydroxytyrosol, and tyrosol, and to secoiridoids, which include oleocanthal, oleacein, oleuropein, and ligstroside (along with the aglycone and glycosidic derivatives of the la… Show more

“…Thus, the bitterness of many of this compounds has been considered to be a deterrent for herbivores [29]. The potential protective role exhibited by secoiridoids from Olea europaea L. for the prevention and treatment of cancers of inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated diseases was recently described in the literature [30,31]. Thus, the observed increase of secoiridoids content for the untreated infected cultivar could be also taken into account for possible biotechnological use in pharma industry.…”

“…Secoiridoids include several bioactive compounds found expressed in all species of Oleaceae plants. The composition of bioactive molecules in the leaves depends on plant variety and season harvesting [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In the leaves, oleuropein is the most abundant secoiridoid, having welldocumented health effects.…”

“…The anti-inflammatory effect of turmeric and extra virgin olive oil provoked interest in several scientific research and has been discovered to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and many other diet's health benefits. Each can alter the human immune system by influencing the release of interleukins involved in immunological defense [17,18,19].…”
