PRIMARY STUDY
Gastric cytoprotection of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene, beta-caryophyllene.
Key Findings: Beta-caryophyllene elicited anti-inflammatory effects without any indication of gastric mucosal damage typical of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Furthermore, this compound manifested cytoprotective effects, rendering the two-dimensional efficacious beta-caryophyllene to be a clinically safe and potentially useful agent.
