Citronellol silver nanoconjugates as a therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma through computational and experimental evaluation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most prevalent type of brain tumor, and because of drug resistance, treatment for gliomas has been less successful. Citronellol is an acyclic monoterpene alcohol with various pharmacological properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of citronellol and its nanoformulation on glioblastoma cell proliferation. The physicochemical properties of citronellol and its synthesized silver nanoconjugates (CN@AgNPs) were evaluated using DFT and ADMET studies. The targets of the investigation (p53 and CDK4) were identified through the application of chemogenomics and analysis of the STRING protein-protein interaction network. Ligands were docked to the interaction sites of specific targets using AutoDock Vina 1.5.7. Molecular dynamics were used to mimic the citronellol complex CDK4 and p53. Because metallic bonds, which provide metals with unique strength and stability, are more resilient and long-lasting than hydrogen bonds, the results showed that the CN@AgNPs generated a more stable complex. Citronellol and CN@AgNPs were assessed by an in vitro study to determine the expression of IC50 concentration for the top scored selected genes to confirm the cytotoxicity of the compound against the GBM cell line SF-767. The findings showed that Citronellol and CN@AgNPs had concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects. Citronellol and CN@AgNPs, with IC50 values of 20.04 ± 4 µg/mL and 19.67 ± 4 µg/mL, respectively, decreased CDK4 expression and raised p53 expression in the SF-767 cancer cell line. In conclusion, the cytotoxicity and inhibition index of glioblastoma cells were increased by the phytocompounds coupled with AgNPs. Therefore, CN@AgNPs may be a good choice for treating cancer.
