Cananga tree
Cananga odorata
Cananga odorata, commonly known as ylang-ylang, is a tree native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in tropical regions. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it has gained some attention in various cultural practices for its aromatic properties. Scientific studies have shown that storage duration and harvest time significantly impact the yield and volatile composition of ylang-ylang oil. Additionally, extracts from Cananga odorata leaves and Lantana camara showed varying levels of uPA inhibition and cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, with some promising results. A mixture of S. aromaticum and C. odorata essential oils demonstrated significant enhanced antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in certain studies. Furthermore, ylang-ylang essential oil and three selected compounds exhibited varying degrees of acaricidal activity against Haemaphysalis doenitzi through different biochemical mechanisms. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Cananga odorata.
