Description

Cinnamic acid is a polyphenol found in cinnamon oil and used in commercial flavorings. Recent studies have shown the pharmacological properties of cinnamic acid and its derivatives, including hepatoprotective, anti-oxidant, and anti-diabetic activities. In preclinical studies cinnamic acid demonstrated to be a promising candidate for the treatment ob obesity and diabetes. The mechanism of action of cinnamic acid in obesity is explained by its ability to inhibit lipases and ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme). However, there are several hypotesis regarding the effect of cinnamic acid in diabetes: cinnamic acid enhances glucose-induced insulin secretion, prevents palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity, inhibits palmitic acid-induced alteration of lipogenic gene and protein expression (AMPK, SREBP-1c, FAS, ACC), inhibits DPP IV, exhibits an additive effect on the uptake of glucose, stimulates adiponectin secretion, etc.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
In a preclinical study cinnamic acid was administered orally to rats at a dose of 5 and 10 mg/kg (diabetes model). In a preclinical model of obesity/hypertension cinnamic acid was given at 30 mg/kg/day.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
To determine the effect of cinnamic acid on glucose uptake FL83B cells were suspended in HBSS containing 5 mM glucose and 5.0 ug/mL insulin. Each 20 uL aliquot of the cell suspension was incubated with the mixture of 20 uL of 12.5 uM cinnamic acid and 20 uL of HBSS at 37 celsius degrees for 30 min with constant shaking. Glucose uptake in mouse liver FL83B cells treated with cinnamic acid (472.8 (8.9 cpm/mg of protein) is 2.3 and 2.0 times of the basal uptake value (240.6 (20.2 cpm/mg of protein), respectively.
