How Cinnemaldehyde Inhibits Microbes

STAPHYLOCOCCI

  • Inhibits Cell Division by inhibiting FTSP-Z (filamentation temperature-sensitive protein Z)
  • Destroys the Gram-positive cell wall – causes leakage of cytoplasmic contents
  • Inhibits Staph. enzymes that convert host proteins into nutrients

PSEUDOMONAS

  • Disrupts Biofilm matrix production at very low concentrations
  • Rapid destruction of the cell membrane in multidrug-resistant organisms
  • Inhibits efflux pumps to allow antibiotics to concentrate in the cytoplasm

MALASSESIA

  • Inhibits ergosterol synthesis, so weakens the cell membrane, leading to leakage of cytoplasmic contents
  • Inhibits the production of the thick outer cell wall Beta-glucans
  • Causes mitochondrial damage, leading to apoptosis
