Biological Description

Description Myristicin is a natural product found in spices and umbelliferous plants. Myristicin has anti-cholinergic, antibacterial, and hepatoprotective effects, it also has anti-inflammatory properties related with its inhibition of NO, cytokines,chemokines, and growth factors in dsRNA-stimulated macrophages via the calcium pathway. Myristicin may antagonize the anxiolytic effects of midazolam, increase , and affect motor movements. Myristicin can induce as characterised by alterations in the mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c release, -3 activation, PARP-cleavage and DNA fragmentation.

Targets(IC50) Antifection: None Bcl-2: None Caspase: None CYP17: None GABA Receptor: None IL Receptor: None NO: None PARP: None In vitro Myristicin (1-allyl-5-methoxy-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene) is an active found in (the seed of Myristica fragrans), , basil,cinnamon, and . Myristicin has been known to have anti- cholinergic, antibacterial,and hepatoprotective effects, however, the effects of Myristicin on virus-stimulated macrophages are not fully reported. METHODS AND RESULTS:In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of Myristicin on double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-stimulated macrophages was examined. Myristicin did not reduce the cell viability of RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages at concentrations of up to 50 μM. Myristicin significantly inhibited the production of calcium, nitric oxide (NO),interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, interferon inducible protein-10, monocyte chemotactic protein(MCP)-1, MCP-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, MIP-1β, and leukemia inhibitory factor in dsRNA[polyinosinic- polycytidylic acid]-induced RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion,Myristicin has anti- inflammatory properties related with its inhibition of NO, cytokines,chemokines, and growth factors in dsRNA- stimulated macrophages via the calcium pathway.
