| About the compound: | Cuminaldehyde, a member of the benzaldehydes, is characterized as benzaldehyde substituted with an isopropyl group at the 4th position. It is a notable component of essential oils from cumin and exhibits insecticidal activities, playing roles as an insecticide, a volatile oil component, and a plant metabolite. This compound is a derivative of a hydride of cumene.With the chemical identity of 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, cuminaldehyde is a natural organic compound with the molecular formula C10H12O. It is essentially a benzaldehyde with an isopropyl substitution in the 4-position. Found in the essential oils of eucalyptus, myrrh, cassia, cumin, and others, cuminaldehyde is known for its pleasant smell and contribution to the aroma of these oils. Due to its appealing scent, it is widely used in commercial perfumes and other cosmetic products. Cuminaldehyde has been identified to inhibit the fibrillation of alpha-synuclein, a protein that, when aggregated, forms insoluble fibrils associated with pathological conditions characterized by Lewy bodies. These conditions include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy. Synthetically, cuminaldehyde can be prepared through the reduction of 4-isopropylbenzoyl chloride or by the formylation of cumene. Additionally, the thiosemicarbazone derivative of cuminaldehyde has been found to possess antiviral properties.
