The anticancer properties of D-Limonene.

D-Limonene is a monocyclic monoterpene derived from the peels of citrus fruits and is used as an industrial chemical for flavorings and fragrances. It has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties. Studies have shown that D-Limonene has the potential to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) and reduce tumor size.

D-Limonene modulates inflammation, oxidative stress and Ras-ERK pathway to inhibit murine skin tumorigenesis {ref}.

D-Limonene may reduce ammonia.
