Biological Activity

Geraniol is a natural monoterpene alcohol with insecticidal, repellent, and antitumor properties. It modulates cellular pathways by inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase activity and disrupting polyamine biosynthesis. This disruption leads to cell cycle arrest and suppression of human colon cancer cell proliferation, demonstrating its potential as a natural bioactive agent with low toxicity. [1]

Solvent Solubility & Note
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
