Article Synopsis
- Cinnamomum verum, known for making cinnamon and used in traditional Chinese medicine, contains cuminaldehyde (CuA) which was studied for its effects on lung cancer cells (NCI-H520).
- CuA was found to suppress cell growth and induce apoptosis by altering key apoptotic genes and causing characteristic morphological changes in the cells.
- The study also demonstrated that CuA negatively impacted topoisomerase activity, increased lysosomal vacuolation, and showed similar effects on other cancer cell lines, highlighting its potential as an anti-cancer agent.
