Abstract in brief

  • Newly pressed extra virgin olive oil contains a compound called oleocanthal, which causes a stinging sensation in the throat similar to the feeling caused by the drug ibuprofen.
  • The study suggests that oleocanthal acts as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, with effects comparable to ibuprofen, even though the two molecules have different structures.
  • Both oleocanthal and ibuprofen inhibit the same enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins, which are compounds related to inflammation and pain.]
