Oleuropein (Ole) is the main bioactive phenolic compound present in olive leaves, fruits, and olive oil. This molecule has been shown to exert beneficial effects on several human pathological conditions. Recent preclinical and observational studies have provided evidence that Ole exhibits chemo-preventive effects on different types of human tumours. This post summarizes paper a review paper about the molecular mechanisms and the experimental findings underpinning a possible clinical role of Ole in the prevention and development of cancer-related bone diseases.
