Pharmacological action

Nerolidol, also known as peruviol and penetrol , is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol found in the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. It is also currently under testing as a skin penetration enhancer for the transdermal delivery of therapeutic drugs. Additionally, it is known for various biological activities include antioxidant, anti fungal, anticancer, and antimicrobial activity. It has a high cytotoxic potential and hydrophobic nature.
