Chemical constituents of its leaf essential oil are similar to those of famous Cinnamomum cassia bark oil, so the potential utilizations of C. osmophloeum are worthy of exploration. Results from our preliminary studies demonstrated that leaf essential oil from C. osmophloeum had excellent antifungal, antimite, antimosquito larvae, antitermite and antibacterial activities. However, to the best of our knowledge there are no prior studies on the anti-inflammation activity of essential oils from C. osmophloeum twig. Therefore, the objective of this project is to evaluate the anti-inflammation activity of essential oil and its constituents from C. osmophloeum twig. Through this study, it is expected that anti-inflammation constituents from C. osmophloeum twig essential oil be of great potential as the medicine for disease control or as raw materials for synthesizing useful analogues in industry.土肉桂枝條精油肉桂醛抗發炎活性Cinnamomum osmophloeumTwigsEssential oiltrans-CinnamaldehydeAnti-inflammation
