Anticancer Potential and Molecular Mechanisms of Cinnamaldehyde and Its Congeners Present in the Cinnamon Plant

Background: Today, cancer is the leading cause of death. It appears that using large amounts natural resources reduces damaging consequences therapy. Over last decade, phytoconstituents in food have shown potential as anticancer agents. Cinnamaldehyde and its congeners their ability to act against several cancers. Objective: This article’s purpose examine cellular molecular mechanisms entail cinnamaldehyde’s for use treatment prevention cancer. Methods: The effects cinnamaldehydes were researched by searching a variety academic databases (such Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Google scholar) accordance with predetermined set criteria. Results: Studies conducted order investigate mechanism(s) which cinnamaldehyde causes cells undergo apoptosis. Additionally, research has an effect inhibits invasion metastasis cells. class compounds was investigated possible application cancers, such leukaemia, colon, hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate, mouth, breast Conclusion: According in-depth examination relevant published research, analogs demonstrate signalling pathways are effective review provides summary recent on candidates drugs.
