An increasing amount of evidence suggests that cinnamon, due to its rich source of polyphenol content, may exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, hence could be used in the treatment of variety of diseases. in this regard, many studies explored the effects of cinnamon and its bioactive components (coumarin, cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde and type A procyanidin polymers) on various neurological diseases including Parkinson’s disease, neuroinflammation, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, migraine, and hyperactivity. The present study attempts to review available data concerning the therapeutic potential of cinnamon and its derivatives in neurological disorders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
