A method of treating or preventing myocardial infarction can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) to a patient in need thereof. Eucalyptol can be a cardio-protective agent against myocar dial infarction by decreasing inflammatory mediators and attenuating apoptosis of myocardial cells. Eucalyptol can inhibit the Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) cascade, particularly via the TLR4/MyD88/NF-KB pathway, to prevent or lessen myocardial infarction-accompanied inflammation and apop tosis. Eucalyptol has a high therapeutic index, minor toxic ity, and is well tolerated by the body.
