Overview

Nigella sativa black seed oil is a natural plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of *Nigella sativa* (black cumin), a flowering plant native to Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and the Middle East. The oil's primary pharmacologically active constituent is thymoquinone (TQ), which exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties. Thymoquinone has been shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis by targeting epigenetic regulators, including ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1), DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). In clinical research, Nigella sativa black seed oil is being evaluated as part of a 19-item repurposed drug and nutrient protocol (the ReDO protocol) led by Dr. Taufiq Binjemain in Australia for the treatment of various cancers.
