Oleuropein has been used:
- as an anticancer agent to test its effect on different apoptotic pathway regulators in two breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) in cell viability assay
- as an antioxidant to test its effect on the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced premature senescence in human fibroblast cell lines
- to test its anticancer properties on the cell viability, cisplatin resistance, and apoptosis in two ovarian cell lines (A2780S and A2780/CP cell lines)
- as a model antioxidant to analyze the quenching activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in different solvents
