Sandalwood oil and their derivatives are used in preparing medicaments for the prevention and treatment of viral-induced tumors in humans. This oil and its components are also used to cure genital warts and HPV of the genital tract, and also help in the prevention of skin cancer. Its capacity to initiate cell-cycle capture and apoptosis in diseased cells is its most detailed anticancer component of activity. In India, sandalwood helps to cure the eruptive skin diseases. A study is done to investigate, the chemopreventive effects of sandalwood oil on 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-(DMBA)-initiated and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate(TPA)-promoted skin papillomas, and TPA-induced ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in CD1 mice. There was a significant decrease in papilloma incidence by 67%, stops its multiplication by 96%, and TPA-induced ODC activity is lowered by 70% by this oil. Thus, it is proved that sandalwood is a very effective chemopreventive agent used for skin diseases, mainly cancer (Dwivedi and Abu-Ghazaleh 1997).
