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 exercise of 60mg/kg is slightly increased. If 100mg/kg or more, transient excitement will appear immediately, and then inhibition will occur. The reporter thinks that the central function of cinnamaldehyde may be the interaction of monoamine nerve function and the effect of tricyclic antidepressants. It has been proved that it has analgesic effect by tail-pressing method or intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid. It has cooling effect on normal body temperature of mice and artificial fever caused by mixed vaccine of typhoid and paratyphoid. Cinnamon bark It can reduce the incidence of tetanic convulsion and death caused by nicotine, but it has no effect on pentylenetetrazol convulsion.
2. Effects on cardiovascular system It has been reported that oral administration of Cinnamomum cassia decoction can improve acute myocardial ischemia caused by pituitrin in rabbits; It can increase the coronary flow of isolated guinea pig heart, and can resist the coronary flow decrease of isolated guinea pig heart 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 improve diastolic 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 and dilate blood vessels, which can inhibit rabbit's heart and cause blood pressure to drop. Experiments show that sodium cinnamate can dilate blood vessels in rabbits and promote blood circulation. Fuzi and cinnamon compound can reduce blood pressure in adrenal cortical hypertensive rats formed by burning one adrenal gland. There is no hypotensive effect on renovascular hypertensive rats caused by ligation of kidney. Cinnamaldehyde and sodium cinnamate can dilate the blood vessels of frog's webbed foot, directly dilate the peripheral blood vessels, reduce the blood pressure and the resistance of peripheral blood vessels, and temporarily dilate the coronary and cerebrovascular vessels.
3. The effect on digestive system: Cinnamon oil has aromatic stomach-invigorating effect, can stimulate the sense of smell, promote the gastric function reflexively, and can also directly stimulate the gastric mucosa to increase secretion and peristalsis. Oral administration of Cinnamon oil to rabbits can promote intestinal movement and excite the intestine, and has the same effect on isolated rabbit intestines.
It has been reported that the aqueous extract of Cinnamomum cassia has a strong inhibitory effect on rats' ulcers caused by cold or water immersion stress, and its activity is the same as that of cimetidine. Cimetidine has no effect on ulcers caused by 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), while Cinnamomum cassia can selectively block histamine H2 receptor, so it has a strong inhibitory effect on gastric juice secretion, and can also improve microcirculation by increasing the blood flow of gastric mucosa. Thus inhibiting 5-HT ulcer. Cinnamon can also reduce the secretion of gastric juice and promote gastric mucosal blood flow in rats with pylorus ligation. The anti-ulcer mechanism of Cinnamon may be due to the decrease of ulcer activity factors (gastric juice and pepsin) and the increase of resistance factors (gastric mucosal blood flow rate).
20g/kg Cinnamomum cassia decoction can significantly inhibit the gastrointestinal propulsion rate of mice and resist diarrhea caused by senna. However, it could not resist the propulsion rate of gastrointestinal ink in mice induced by phentolamine, morphine or atropine, and had no significant effect on diarrhea in mice induced by castor oil or senna when it was 5g/kg.
4. Other functions 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 irritation. It can be used as a stomach-invigorating and wind-expelling agent for oral administration; 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.
The water extract of Cinnamomum cassia can inhibit thymus atrophy in mice with yang deficiency caused by glucocorticoid and protect adrenal cortex function.
In vitro and in vivo experiments show that Cinnamomum cassia has obvious inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats, and in vitro experiments show that Cinnamomum cassia decoction and water-soluble methanol part have strong anticoagulant effect.
Cinnamon, realgar, areca nut and Ferula have certain preventive effect 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 decreasing spontaneous activity, resisting excessive activity caused by Methamphetamine, dyskinesia caused by rotating rod test, and prolonging anesthesia time of cyclohexylbarbital sodium. It is proved that it has analgesic effect by observing the writhing movement by tail-pressing stimulation in mice or intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid.
1.2. Cooling effect:
It has cooling effect on normal body temperature of mice and artificial fever caused by mixed vaccine of typhoid and paratyphoid. Cinnamaldehyde and sodium cinnamate have antipyretic effects on rabbits with fever caused by warm needling. 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. It is not effective for those caused by tetrazole.
4. Effect on blood
In vitro and in vivo experiments, Cinnamomum cassia has obvious inhibitory effect on ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats. In vitro experiments show that Cinnamomum cassia decoction and methanol-soluble part have strong anticoagulant effect. The monomers extracted from cinnamon-cinnamic acid and coumarin-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, promote the function of the stomach reflexively, and directly stimulate the gastric mucosa to increase secretion and peristalsis, showing an aromatic stomach-strengthening effect.
5.2. Intestinal excitation:
Oral administration of cinnamon oil to rabbits can promote intestinal movement and excite the intestine. It also has the same effect on isolated rabbit intestine, which gives a good explanation for the ancient saying of warming spleen and stomach and removing cold accumulation.
6. Other roles
6. 1. Warming action:
A large amount of cinnamon oil can cause uterine congestion, showing the effect of dredging menstruation, which provides an experimental basis for the abortion effect of ancient herbal theory.
6.4. Eliminating phlegm and relieving cough:
Cinnamon oil is absorbed and discharged from the lungs, which dilutes mucus and shows expectorant and antitussive effects.
6.5. Diuretic effect:
Excretion from the kidney causes local irritation, which shows a certain diuretic effect.
6.6. Radiation protection:
Sodium cinnamate has proved to have anti-radiation effect in the experiment of lethal dose of cobalt 60 and gamma rays to mice and dogs once.
6.7. Anti-complement effect:
Diterpenoids in cinnamon have anti-complement effect.
6.8. Control blood sugar balance, prevent and treat diabetes.
clinical
1. Used for the elderly with kidney yang deficiency, cold limbs, spleen yang weakness, abdominal pain, anorexia, indigestion, etc.
2. It is used for the elderly who are weak due to long-term illness, qi failure and little blood. The product can invigorate spleen yang and promote blood circulation, and is often used for chronic illness, weakness, qi failure and blood deficiency. A small amount of cinnamon mixed with qi-invigorating and blood-nourishing drugs such as Dangshen, Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, etc., has the function of encouraging the growth of qi and blood.
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 protein: these protein have important effects on insulin receptor, blood glucose transport and inflammatory reaction, which can promote insulin activity or increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. In addition, some studies have found that some components in cinnamon have properties similar to insulin, which is also helpful to control blood sugar level.
Eating about half a spoonful of cinnamon every day can achieve the above effects-improving blood sugar level, total cholesterol, bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Moreover, this dosage is safe and reliable without any side effects. If you are taking medicine and receiving treatment, please consult your doctor in advance.
