The present work has reported the antineoplastic potential of the spice cinnamon in cancer. Collectively, these data suggest that cinnamon could be proposed as a potent anticancer drug. The bibliographic investigation was carried out during January 2004-December 2014 by analyzing journals and peer-reviewed papers from the last decades. Peer-reviewed articles were indexed by Scopus, PubMed, and Google scholar. Only relevant studies published in English were considered. There were 24 articles that reported the cytotoxic activity of cinnamon on all culture cell lines. About 8 species of Cinnamomum have been isolated with their active compounds for cancer cell lines. Based on the reviews of those articles, we conclude that cinnamon has the potential to be further developed as an anticancer agent. In further development, however, not only the research for investigating the anticancer activities, but also research for investigating the safety of cinnamon to the normal cell need to be performed.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Anticancer,Cell lines,Cinnamomum species,Cinnamon,Review[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
