The anti-inflammatory mechanism of citral is attributed to the inhibition of NF-κβ signaling. Citral activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR-γ) and inhibits IκB phosphorylation, which independently blocks NF-κβ activity with the consequent inhibition of gene expression of the inflammatory mediator [109,110,111,112,113].
