ANTI LUNG CANCER DRUG MADE OF OLEUM CASSIAE AND MAJOR CONSTITUENT CINNAMALDEHYDE THEREOF AND USE THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are the use of oleum cassiae and major constituent cinnamaldehyde thereof in preparing anti lung cancer drugs and anti lung cancer drugs made of oleum cassiae and/or cinnamylaldehyde. It has been confirmed by research that methods such as MTT that oleum cassiae and its major constituent cinnamylaldehyde have a significantly inhibiting effect on the non-small-cell lung cancer cell A549 while cinnamic acid as the metabolic end product of cinnamylaldehyde does not have or only has a very weak inhibiting effect on A549. Oleum cassiae and its major constituent cinnamylaldehyde can be used for preparing anti lung cancer drugs.
