• Description: 5-Ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol is a volatile compound that has been isolated from the bark of the cinnamon tree. It has shown anticancer activities "in vitro" and "in vivo". 5-Ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol has been shown to be demethylated by cytochrome P450 enzymes, which may result in its antitumor activity. This active compound can also be detected in postharvested fruit and vegetables as well as processed foods such as apple juice, tomato sauce, and dried fruits. 5-Ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol is responsible for the characteristic flavor of cinnamon, so it is often used as a flavoring agent in food processing.
