Metabolite Identification
Common NameCuminaldehyde
DescriptionCuminaldehyde is the biologically active constituent of Cuminum cyminum seed oil. C. cyminum seed-derived materials have an inhibitory effect in vitro against rat lens aldose reductase and alpha-glucosidase. This inhibitory action cuminaldehyde suggest a potential utility as an antidiabetic therapeutic. (PMID:15796577 ). Cuminaldehyde is a volatile compound representative of cumin aroma present in trace amounts in the blood and milk of ewes fed with cumin seed. (PMID:8738023 ). The terpenoid cuminaldehyde, undergoes reduction biotransformation in mammals, but not oxidation. (PMID:2815827 ).
