Application


  • Pharmacological Activity in Metabolic Diseases: Cinnamaldehyde is investigated for its potential to attenuate diabetic osteoporosis in a rat model, mediated through the modulation of the netrin-1/DCC-UNC5B signaling pathway. This suggests its applicability in therapeutic strategies against metabolic bone diseases (Ji et al., 2024).

  • Antibacterial and Biofilm Inhibition: The study reviews the inhibitory effects of natural compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, on the quorum sensing systems of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This indicates its potential role in managing biofilm communities, which could be crucial for developing new antibacterial strategies (Shariati et al., 2024).
