(−)-α-Bisabolol is a monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol found in the essential oil of different plants like Vanillosmopsis erythropappa and Matricaria chamomilla. It has potential applications in the clinical and cosmetic industries due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and antimicrobial properties. It also shows effective action against malignant tumor cells. (−)-α-Bisabolol inhibits the growth of L. amazonensis promastigotes and amastigotes (IC50s = 8.07 and 4.29 μg/ml, respectively). It also reduces the growth of L. infantum and L. donovani amastigotes (IC50s = 56.9 and 39.4 μM, respectively) with a cytotoxic concentration (CC50) value of greater than 1,000 μM in L929 cells.
