Perillic acid, a metabolite of Perillyl alcohol, exhibits properties that induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in lung cancer cells. Additionally, this compound demonstrates anti-HSV-1 (anti-Herpes Simplex Virus type 1) and immunomodulatory activities [1] [2] [3].

(S)-(-)-Perillic acid, a terpenoid plant extract, exhibits antimicrobial and anticancer properties. This compound promotes cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest while enhancing the levels of proteins such as Bax, Bcl2, p21, and caspase-3. It holds potential for research in cancer and infection treatments [1] [2] [3].
