Therefore, the researchers conducted further research on alternative malaria therapies. Cinnamomum verum or cinnamon is known to contain cinnamaldehyde compounds which have an antimicrobial effect. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-microbial effect of Cinnamomum verum extract or cinnamon extract as adjuvant therapy in malaria falciparum. This type of study is a literature review with the method of collecting reading results from 25 articles of case reports, research articles, and literature reviews. This study concludes that the cinnamaldehyde compound in Cinnamomum verum extraction has an antimicrobial effect which can inhibit the denaturation potential of amino acids, inhibits β-hematin formation and activity of the reductase enzyme on Plasmodium falciparum enoyl-ACP reductase, where it is known that these four have an important role. in the pathogenesis of falciparum malaria.
