Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Constituents from Cinnamomum insularimontanum Hayata Leaves and Their Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Cinnamomum insularimontanum is an endemic species of Taiwan. Although most Cinnamomum plants have significant biological activity, the bioactivity investment of C. insularimontanum is rare. Since inflammation plays an important role in many diseases, anti-inflammatory compounds can be developed into healthcare products. Therefore, we first conducted a study on the anti-inflammatory activity of C. insularimontanum leaves. First, we examined the antiinflammation activity of essential oil from C. insularimontanum leaves, and it revealed potent anti-inflammatory activity. A total of 23 volatile compounds were identified in C. insularimontanum leaves' essential oil by using GC/MS analysis. Among them were 1,8-cineole (35.94%), α-eudesmol (6.17%), pinene (7.55%
