2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde is an active compound isolated from the Stem Bark of Cinnamomum cassia, a traditional oriental medicinal herb, which has been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated the effects of 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde on the cytotoxicity. induction of apoptosis and the putative pathways of its actions in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60).

Cinnamaldehyde is the main component of cinnamon bark oil and show several biological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-fungal, anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory effects. A couple of studies have investigated how the natural compound exerts its anti-inflammatory effect. In despite of numerous investigations, the biological mechanism of effects belong to cinnamaldehyde remain unclear. We isolated 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde(HCA) from the bark of Cinnamomun cassia Blume and reported a various of biological activities of HCA. (omitted)

Various cinnamaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and their inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) was measured to examine the structure-activity relationships (SAR) on the basis that FPTase was inhibited by ortho-hydroxycinnamaldehyde derived from extracts of the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume. The ortho-substituents on the phenyl backbone of cinnamaldehyde showed higher activity than those with meta- and para-substituents, and the side chain required unsaturated aldehyde. In particular, 2-chlorocinnamaldehyde, 5 showed the highest inhibition activity on the FPTase among them and its inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ value was 4.45.

CC-MS analysis on the essential oil (CC-oil) of Cinnamomum cassia stem bark led to the identification of cinnamaldehyde (CNA, 1), 2-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (2-CNA), coumarin (2), and cinnamyl acetate. The major volatile flavor in CC-oil was found to be 2-CNA. Coumarin was first isolated from this plant by photochemical isolation and spectroscopic analysis. CNA and CC-oil showed potent cytotoxicity, which was effectively prevented by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) treatment. Intraperitoneal administration with CNA considerably decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) formation and glutathione S-transferase activity in rats. These results suggest that CC-oil and CNA can regulate the triggering of hepatic drugmetabolizing enzymes by the formation of a glutathione-conjugate.

The compound of 2"-O-benzoylcinnamaldehyde(CB-ph) is a derivative of 2"-hydroxycinnamaldehyde whcih is a methanol extract of cinnamomum cassia blume. It"s a new anti-cancer agent which has been showed to inhibit the growth of various tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. In order to investigate the effective drug concentration and bio-distribution of CB-ph, the plasma protein binding was studied. In this study, the degree of the binding of Cb-ph to various serum proteins, the binding parameters, the binding site of CB-ph in human serum albumin, and the effect of some extensive protein-binding drugs on the protein binding of CB-ph in human serum ablumin were investigated respectively by ultrafilteration and fluorescence spectrometry.

To evaluate the quality of the crude drugs using three kinds of Cinnamomum Cortex (CC), Vietnamese CC (VCC, the stem bark of Cinnamomum obtusifolium), periderm-peeled Chinese CC (PPCC, periderm-peeled stem bark of C. cassia), Chinese CC (CCC, stem bark of C. cassia) and a Cinnamomi Ramulus (CR, the twig of C. cassia), the four essential oils were prepared by steam distillation method. Cinnamaldehdye (CAN) and an unknown substance tentatively named hydroxy-cinnamaldehdye(HCNA) were detected in the four essential oils by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the contents of which are significantly different one another. Vietnamese CC had the highest content of HCNA whereas CR had the highest CAN content and the lowest HCNA. Vietnamese CC exhibited the greatest cytotoxic activity against the cancer cell lines, A549, HepG-2, HL-60, P-388, U-937, and KB and CR the lowest cytotoxicity. Contents of CAN and HCNA in CCC and PPCC are positioned between VCC and CR. These results suggest that measurement of HCNA and cytotoxicity may determine the quality of CC and CR.
