“…CAD is derived from the essential oil of cinnamon bark and is a highly bioactive compound serving many purposes (Jayaprakasha and Rao, 2011). It has been used as an anticancer agent (Nagle et al, 2012), an insecticide (Cheng et al, 2009), a fungicide (Bang et al, 2000;Shreaz et al, 2011), and a bactericide (Nostro et al, 2012). It is also used commercially as an additive in many foods and in fragrances (Cocchiara et al, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tIn a prior study on electronic cigarette (EC) refill fluids, Cinnamon Ceylon was the most cytotoxic of 36 products tested. The purpose of the current study was to determine if high cytotoxicity is a general feature of cinnamon-flavored EC refill fluids and to identify the toxicant(s) in Cinnamon Ceylon. Eight cinnamon-flavored refill fluids, which were screened using the MTT assay, varied in their cytotoxicity with most being cytotoxic. Human embryonic stem cells were generally more sensitive than human adult pulmonary fibroblasts. Most products were highly volatile and produced vapors that impaired survival of cells in adjacent wells. Cinnamaldehyde (CAD), 2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (2MOCA), dipropylene glycol, and vanillin were identified in the cinnamon-flavored refill fluids using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When authentic standards of each chemical were tested using the MTT assay, only CAD and 2MOCA were highly cytotoxic. The amount of each chemical in the refill fluids was quantified using HPLC, and cytotoxicity correlated with the amount of CAD/ product. Duplicate bottles of the same product were similar, but varied in their concentrations of 2MOCA. These data show that the cinnamon flavorings in refill fluids are linked to cytotoxicity, which could adversely affect EC users.

“…Linalool was significantly similar to thymol and 1,8-cineole in its activity against C. partellus and is known as a potent, efficacious compound against mosquitoes (Traboulsi et al 2002(Traboulsi et al , 2005Cheng et al 2009) and fruit flies ), however, moderate activity has been reported against red bud borer, Resseliella oculiperda (van Tol et al 2007).…”

Eight essential oil compounds were used for study of larvicidal and growth inhibitory effects against the maize stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). It is the most prevalent key pests, and is one of the limiting factors in the successful cultivation of the maize crop in India. Two dietary bioassays; on-diet and in-diet, were used. The bioassays showed different tendencies and LC 50 values were on the lower side in on-diet tests compared to in-diet assays. Thymol was the most active in both laboratory and greenhouse experiments. In greenhouse conditions, thymol was significantly active at a 10 x LC 50 level of treatment. Overall mortality due to thymol was 41.66% in 4 days and larvae failed to bore into the plant and could not feed until 48 h post-treatment. After 72 h there was some degree of feeding and boring in the plants by insects, but still < 45% of that in the controls. The present study suggests that larvicidal and growth inhibitory activity by the essential oil compounds could be beneficial as a possible control of the maize borer. This is especially true about thymol which has potential in field situations. It is effective if a proper delivery system and the appropriate time of sprays is established. A 4 day-interval spray of thymol against C. partellus can control the pest significantly and can be used in any integrated pest management system. On the basis of compound structure, no specific trend was observed.

“…It also enhances the blood circulation in the advances tissue renewal and uterus (20). On the whole, this plant performs a key role as a spice, but its essential oils and other ingredients also have important activities, counting antifungal (21), antimicrobial (22), antidiabetic (23), antioxidant (24), anti-inflammatory (25), antitermitic (25), antimycotic (26), nematicidal (27), insecticidal (26), mosquito larvicidal (28), and anticancer activities (29).…”
