Abstract: Cinnamaldehyde (CNM) is a cyclic terpene alcohol found as the major compound of essential oils from some plants genus Cinnamomum (Lauraceae). CNM has several reported pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, antivirulence, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. These properties make an attractive lead molecule for development anti-infective agents. In this descriptive review, we discuss application in experimental models microbial infection using invertebrate vertebrate organisms. (pure or formulations) been successfully applied treatment infections caused by range bacterial (such Cronobacter sakazakii, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Vibrio cholerae) fungal Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans Cryptococcus neoformans) pathogens. All these evidence-based findings have promoted use cinnamaldehyde leading developing new anti- infective drugs.
