The demand for Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum syn. C. zeylanicum ) is consistent due to its superior characteristics. Besides that, Sri Lanka is home to seven other wild species: Cinnamomum capparu-coronde, Cinnamomum citriodorum, Cinnamomum dubium, Cinnamomum litseifolium, Cinnamomum ovalifolium, Cinnamomum rivulorum, and Cinnamomum sinharajaense. Since cinnamon bark contains more than seventy bioactive compounds, it possesses various pharmacological and health benefits, including antimicrobial activity. Even though there is some literature on the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of C. verum, wild species have not been studied yet. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity and biochemical compounds of Cinnamomum species found in Sri Lanka using bark methanol extract and crude. Trans-cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamyl acetate, coumaric acid, and coumarin were quantified using HPLC techniques. The antimicrobial properties were evaluated by disc diffusion assay against two standard pathogenic strains, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853. There were no detectable coumarin or coumaric acid levels in any of the species. The highest transcinnamaldehyde content and antimicrobial activity were observed in C. verum, followed by C. sinharajaense and C. capparu-coronde. Further, C. ovalifolium, C. dubium, and C. rivulorum did not show positive inhibition zones against the two pathogenic strains and detectable levels of transcinnamaldehyde. Moreover, the results showed a strong positive correlation between antimicrobial activity and transcinnamaldehyde content. The results suggest that the antibacterial activity of C. sinharajaense and C. capparucoronde should be tested against a broader range of pathogenic strains and could be useful in future breeding programs.

“…In anient time the plant parts are also used in ayurveda system of medicine for preparation of Ayurvedic formulations includes Sudarshan choorna, chandraprabhavati. 7 The plant possess a various pharmacological/ medicinal property useful for cure and treat various diseases due to the presence of many major bioactive constituents such as:-Cinnamaldehyde, trans-cinnamaldehyde, 3,4' ,5,7tetrahyroxyflavone, 3,3' ,4' ,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone (non-glycoside compounds), kaempferol-3-Oglycopyranoside (Astragalin), quercetin-3-Orutinoside, quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (flavonoid glycoside), kaempferol-3,7di-O-rhamnopyraoside, a-pinene, myrcene, camphene, p-cymene, limonene, eugenol (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyallylbenzene), methyl eugenol, methyl ether eugenol and eugenol acetate. [8][9][10][11] In the evaluation of leaf oil of plant the study found that plant leaf oil possess a major bioactive compound includes Furanogermenone, β-caryophyllene, germacerene d, curcumenol, curzerenone, furanodiene, furanodienone, and contains a rich amount of sesquiterpenoids compounds, and mainly contains some other phytochemical compounds cinnamaldehyde, eugenol,α-linalool, carophyllene oxide, geraniol, Benzaldehyde, 1,8-cineole, Salicylaldehyde, γ-terpinene, acetophenone, cis-sabinene hydrate, trans-sabinene hydrate, 3-phenyl propanala, Pinocarvone, borneol, 2-methylbenzofuran, tepinen-4-ol, p-cymen-8-ol, α-terpineol, bornyl acetate, cinnamyl alcohol, hydrocinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamic acid, coumarin, cinnamyl acetate, α-humulene, nerolidol, spathulenol, Monoterpenoid Hydrocarbons, Oxygenated Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpens Hydrocarbons, Oxygenated Sesquiterpens, Phenylpropanoids and also includes in small quantity of α -humulene, α -muurolene.…”

C. camphora is a renowned traditional Unani medicinal herb and belongs to the family Lauraceae. It has therapeutic applications in various ailments and prophylactic properties to prevent flu-like epidemic symptoms and COVID-19. This comprehensive appraisal is to familiarize the reader with the traditional, broad applications of camphor both in Unani and modern medicine and its effects on bioactive molecules. Electronic databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Research Gate were searched for bioactive molecules, and preclinical/clinical research and including 59 research and review papers up to 2022 were retrieved. Additionally, 21 classical Unani and English herbal pharmacopeia books with ethnomedicinal properties and therapeutic applications were explored. Oxidative stress significantly impacts aging, obesity, diabetes mellitus, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. The polyphenolic bioactive compounds such as linalool, borneol, and nerolidol of C. camphora have antioxidant activity and have the potential to remove free radicals. Its other major bioactive molecules are camphor, cineole, limelol, safrole, limonene, alpha-pinene, and cineole with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anxiolytic, analgesic, immunomodulatory, antihyperlipidemic, and many other pharmacological properties have been established in vitro or in vivo preclinical research. Natural bioactive molecules and their mechanisms of action and applications in diseases have been highlighted, with future prospects, gaps, and priorities that need to be addressed.
