trans-Anethole is a naturally occurring phenylpropene derivative that is estrogenic at lower concentrations and cytotoxic at higher concentrations in cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity is related to the metabolism of trans-anethole to 4-hydroxy-1-propenylbenzene. trans-Anethole, a naturally occurring aromatic compound, can be found in various plants and spices like anise, fennel, and star anise. Its applications are diverse, being widely utilized as a flavoring agent in food and beverages, and as an ingredient in fragrances and cosmetics. While much has been discovered about trans-Anethole, its exact mechanism of action remains partially mysterious. However, research suggests that it may function by inhibiting specific enzymes responsible for reducing the production of inflammatory cytokines.
