Application

Cuminaldehyde has been used to study larvicidal and adulticidal toxicity of monoterpenes against Culex pipiens. It has been used in evaluation of chemical composition, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of essential oil and various extracts of Eucalyptus gilii.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cuminaldehyde increases the insulin secretion in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. It suppresses melanin formation in cultured murine B16-F10 melanoma cells.

Cuminaldehyde (4-isopropylbenzaldehyde) suppressed melanin formation in cultured murine B16-F10 melanoma cells in a dose-dependent decrease up to 0.25 mm without affecting cell growth. Approximately 30% suppression in melanin production resulted when the cells were cultured with 0.25 mm of cuminaldehyde.
