1. Effect on central nervous system Cinnamaldehyde has obvious sedative effect on mice, which shows that spontaneous activity is reduced, and it can resist excessive activity caused by methamphetamine and dyskinesia caused by rotating rod test, and prolong the anesthesia time of cyclohexylbarbital sodium. It has been reported that when cinnamaldehyde is greater than 30mg/kg, it can inhibit the spontaneous movement of mice, and the spontaneous movement of 60mg/kg increases slightly. When the dose is higher than 100mg/kg, there is a short-term excitement immediately, and then there is inhibition. The reporter thinks that the central role of cinnamaldehyde may be the interaction between monoamine nerve function and tricyclic antidepressants. The analgesic effect was proved by tail pressing or intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid. It has cooling effect on artificial fever caused by normal body temperature of mice and mixed vaccine of typhoid and paratyphoid. Cinnamaldehyde and cinnamon can reduce the incidence of tonic convulsion and death caused by nicotine, but have no effect on pentylenetetrazol convulsion.
2. The effect on cardiovascular system has been reported. Oral Cinnamon Decoction can improve acute myocardial ischemia caused by pituitrin in rabbits. It can increase the coronary flow of isolated guinea pig heart and resist the decrease of coronary flow caused by pituitrin. Cinnamon water extract or cinnamon oil can resist the changes of cardiac function and hemodynamics caused by isoproterenol when administered to rats, and cinnamon water extract is stronger than cinnamon oil. Cinnamon preparation can fully increase diastolic blood pressure, correspondingly increase perfusion pressure of coronary artery and cerebral artery, and promote the opening of myocardial and thoracic collateral circulation. It is also reported that cinnamon can inhibit frog's heart, dilate blood vessels, inhibit rabbit's heart and lower blood pressure. Experiments show that sodium cinnamate can dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation in rabbits. Fuzi Cinnamomum cassia compound can reduce the blood pressure of adrenal cortex hypertensive rats caused by unilateral adrenal burn. It has no antihypertensive effect on renovascular hypertensive rats. Cinnamaldehyde and sodium cinnamate can dilate blood vessels of frog webbed feet, directly dilate peripheral blood vessels, reduce blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance, and temporarily dilate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
3. Effect on digestive system: Cinnamon oil has the function of fragrant and invigorating the stomach, which can stimulate the sense of smell, promote the function of the stomach reflexively, and directly stimulate the gastric mucosa to increase secretion and peristalsis. Oral cinnamon oil in rabbits can promote intestinal movement and excite the intestine, and it also has the same effect on isolated rabbit intestine.
It is reported that the water extract of Cinnamomum cassia has a strong inhibitory effect on rat ulcer caused by cold or water immersion stress, and its activity is the same as that of cimetidine. Cimetidine has no effect on ulcer caused by 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), while cinnamon can selectively block histamine H2 receptor, so it has a strong inhibitory effect on gastric juice secretion, and can also improve microcirculation by increasing gastric mucosal blood flow. Thereby inhibiting 5-HT ulcer. Cinnamon can also reduce gastric juice secretion and promote gastric mucosal blood flow in rats with pyloric ligation. The anti-ulcer mechanism of cinnamon may be due to the decrease of ulcer active factors (gastric juice and pepsin) and the increase of resistance factors (gastric mucosal blood flow velocity).
20g/kg Cinnamomum cassia decoction can significantly inhibit the gastrointestinal propulsion rate of mice and antagonize diarrhea caused by Senna leaves. However, it could not resist the propulsion rate of gastrointestinal ink in mice caused by phentolamine, morphine or atropine, and had no obvious effect on diarrhea in mice caused by castor oil or senna at 5g/kg.
4. Other functional cinnamon oil has a strong bactericidal effect and a good effect on Gram-positive bacteria, but it is rarely used as an antibacterial drug because of its great irritation. Can be used as oral stomach invigorating and wind expelling agent; External application can treat stomachache, flatulence and colic. It has a strong inhibitory effect on fungi and can be mixed with thymol to treat tinea capitis. Cinnamaldehyde and sodium cinnamate can increase white blood cells in rabbits.
Cinnamomum cassia water extract can inhibit thymus atrophy and protect adrenal cortex function in mice with yang deficiency caused by glucocorticoid.
In vitro and in vivo experiments show that Cinnamomum cassia has obvious inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats. In vitro experiments show that Cinnamomum cassia decoction and water-soluble methanol have strong anticoagulant effect.
Cinnamon, realgar, areca nut and Ferula have certain preventive effects on schistosomiasis.
Diterpenoids in cinnamon have anti-complement effect.
1. 1. Sedative effect:
Cinnamaldehyde contained in Cinnamomum cassia has obvious sedative effect on mice, such as reducing spontaneous activity, resisting excessive activity caused by methamphetamine, dyskinesia caused by rotating rod test and prolonging anesthesia time of cyclohexylbarbital sodium. The writhing movement was observed by tail-pressing stimulation in mice or intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid, which proved that it had analgesic effect.
1.2. Cooling effect:
It has cooling effect on artificial fever caused by normal body temperature of mice and mixed vaccine of typhoid and paratyphoid. Cinnamaldehyde and sodium cinnamate have antipyretic effects on rabbits with warm needle fever. It can delay the time of tonic convulsion and death caused by strychnine and reduce the incidence of tonic convulsion and death caused by nicotine. Ineffective to tetrazole.
4. Effect on blood
In vitro and in vivo experiments, cinnamon has obvious inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats. In vitro experiments show that the decoction and methanol-soluble part of Cinnamomum cassia have strong anticoagulant effect. The monomers cinnamic acid and coumarin extracted from cinnamon have no obvious anticoagulant effect. In vivo, the decoction of Cinnamomum cassia has no anticoagulant effect and does not affect the fibrinolytic activity of rabbits.
5. Stomach-invigorating effect
Cinnamon oil can stimulate the sense of smell, reflexively promote the function of the stomach, directly stimulate the gastric mucosa to increase secretion and peristalsis, showing the aromatic stomach-strengthening effect.
5.2. Intestinal excitement:
Oral administration of cinnamon oil to rabbits can promote intestinal movement and excite the intestines. It also has the same effect on isolated rabbit intestine, which explains the old saying that warming and nourishing the spleen and stomach, dispelling cold and stagnation.
6. Other roles
6. 1. amenorrhea:
A large amount of cinnamon oil can cause uterine congestion, showing the effect of dredging menstruation, which provides experimental basis for the abortion effect of ancient herbal medicine theory.
6.4. Eliminating phlegm and relieving cough:
Cinnamon oil is absorbed and excreted by the lungs, which dilutes mucus and shows the effect of eliminating phlegm and relieving cough.
6.5. Diuretic effect:
Excretion from the kidney causes local irritation and shows a certain diuretic effect.
6.6. Radiation protection:
In a lethal dose experiment of cobalt 60 and γ -rays on mice and dogs, it was proved that sodium cinnamate had anti-radiation effect.
6.7. Anti-complement effect:
Diterpenoids in cinnamon have anti-complement effect.
6.8. Control blood sugar balance and prevent diabetes.

Cinnamon contains flavanol polyphenols, which can improve the stability of insulin on blood sugar level and reduce insulin resistance. The ways to realize this function are as follows: ① Activation energy stimulates the enzyme of insulin receptor. ② The insulin signal pathway in skeletal muscle tissue is smoother. Studies have found that cinnamon helps to enhance the activity of insulin. The active components in Cinnamomum cassia are beneficial to improve the levels of three key proteins: these proteins play an important role in insulin receptor, blood glucose transport and inflammatory reaction, and can promote insulin activity or increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. In addition, some studies have found that some components in cinnamon have insulin-like properties and are also helpful to control blood sugar levels.
