Background: Phenylpropylene biosynthesis pathway plays a crucial role in the vanillin and their derivative(s) production in the plants. The intermediate of vanillin synthesis i.e. cinnamic acid (CA) is converted into 2-Hydroxy 4-MethoxyBenzaldehyde (HMB) in Decalepis arayalpathra having a number of therapeutic value. Objective : Microwave-assisted modifications in cinnamic acid were planned for potential anticancer properties with better yield and efficiency. The present study also confirms the presence of HMB and its precursor i.e. cinnamic acid in D. arayalpathra tubers. Methods: We used a single step Microwave Assisted Synthesis (MAS) to modify cinnamic acid, and then examined the synthetic and natural cinnamic acid derivatives anticancer potential against six human cancer (K-562, WRL-68, A549, A431, MCF-7, and COLO-201) and two normal (L-132 and HEK-293) cell lines at 2, 10 and 50 µg/ml concentrations. Results: β-bromostyrene and β -nitrostyrene have shown inhibition with IC50 values ranging 0.10-21 µM and 0.03-0.06 µM, respectively to the cancer cell lines. β-bromostyrene was the most potent anticancer derivative of CA with better cellular safety and biocompatibility. Conclusions: The present study of microwave-assisted synthesis demonstrates a single-step modification in cinnamic acid. MAS is a fast, reliable, and robust method. The resultant compounds have shown in-vitro anticancer activity against human lung carcinoma and breast adenocarcinoma.

To study the flow of carbon through the shikimate pathway in tobacco cell cultures with low and high yields of cinnamoyl putrescines, the cell cultures were treated with glyphosate. In the presence of glyphosate the levels of free shikimic acid were increased more than 300-fold by both cell lines. Despite of a normally 10-fold higher level of cinnamoyl putrescines, the high yielding cell line accumulated only 25% more free shikimic acid than the low yielding cell line. This result together with earlier observations indicated that the increased formation of cinnamoyl putrescines was rather limited by the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase than by increased substrate supply caused by alterations in the shikimate pathway
