Abstract
Terpenes are a broad and varied group of organic compounds found in numerous plants, especially conifers, and some insects. They are known for imparting aromatic properties to these organisms. Recently, there is a growing interest in terpenes due to their wide-range of applications and increase in demand for natural products. This surge in interest is particularly evident in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, where the demand for natural and organic ingredients has significantly boosted the appeal of terpenes. Additionally, their role in traditional medicine provided a historical context that supported their modern use, and their subsequent role in cancer therapeutics. For the past few decades, numerous studies have been conducted to delve deeper into the potential oncotherapeutic effect of terpenes, with in-vivo and in-vitro studies being carried out rapidly. However, with the lack of clinical trials, the use of terpenes practically as well as commercially, has become questionable in the recent times.
