Cinnamohydrazide

Cinnamohydrazide, an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative, serves as a precursor to aspartame through enzyme-mediated amination to phenylalanine. This compound may offer potential benefits in the prevention and treatment of diabetes by facilitating insulin secretion, enhancing pancreatic β-cell function, inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis, promoting glucose uptake, amplifying insulin signaling pathways, delaying carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption, and reducing protein glycation and insulin fibrillation.
