Cuminaldehyde

Cuminaldehyde is the main component of Cuminum cyminum and has multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-injury, anti-neuropathy and antibacterial effects. Cuminaldehyde is an inhibitor of aldose reductase (IC50= 0.00085 mg/mL), α-glucosidase (IC50=0.5 mg/mL) and lipoxygenase (IC50=1370 μM). Cuminaldehyde also inhibits the fibrillation of α-synuclein and prevents its aggregation. Cuminaldehyde has potential application value in the research of neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, diabetes and neuropathic pain disorders[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
