title = "Cytotoxic properties of leaf essential oil and components from indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kaneh)",
abstract = "The essential oils from leaves of three Cinnamomum osmophloeum clones (A, B and C) and their major chemical constituents were investigated. GC and GC-MS analyses showed that Cinnamomum osmophloeum clones A, B and C contain trns-cinnamaldehyde (90.6\%), eugenol (91.3\%) and linalool (83.7\%), respectively, as the major component. The inhibitory effects of the essential oils on the growth of human leukemia cell lines U937 and K562 Hep-1, in vitro were investigated. A strong cell proliferation inhibition activity for Cinnamomum osmophloeum clone A was observed for cell lines K562, whereas Cinnamomum osmophloeum clone B and Cinnamomum osmophloeum clone C gave comparatively low inhibition. This trend paralleled the cytotoxic properties of authentic trans-cinnaldehyde, eugenol and linalool, respectively.",
