Cinnamaldehyde is a natural essential oil suggested to possess anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; and to activate transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels expressed on neuronal and non-neuronal cells.

Swiss mice received a single oral treatment with cinnamaldehyde 1 h before LPS injection.
