Abstract: This study explores the anti-aging effects of osmanthus essential oil on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and an acute aging mouse model. In vitro experiments, the anti-aging effects of osmanthus essential oil was assessed by measuring its impact on the expression of aging markers and the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in SH-SY5Y cells. The results indicate that osmanthus essential oil at concentrations of 2-100 μg/mL is non-toxic to SH-SY5Y cells and significantly reduces H2O2-induced ROS levels and improved aging cell characteristics, including reducing the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes and aging-related genes (P16, P53, and P21), and decreasing SA-β-gal production. The vivo experiments showed that different doses of osmanthus essential oil (0.012 5, 0.025, and 0.05 μL/g) significantly increased antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT) activities in the serum of acutely aged mice, while reducing MDA and ROS levels. Combining the results in vitro and vivo experiments, osmanthus essential oil significantly delays the aging process in cellular and animal models through its potent antioxidant effects, providing strong scientific evidence for its application in anti-aging treatments.
