Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Myricetin is a COMT inhibitor found in fruits and vegetables. It exhibits a wide variety of biological activities, including decreasing cholesterol, triglyceride, and lipid levels, inhibiting amyloid-B-induced neurodegeneration, activating Wnt/B-catenin signaling to increase osteoclast differentiation, and inducing cell cycle arrest in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.

Biological target:
Myricetin is a common plant-derived flavonoid with a wide range of activities including strong anti-oxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities.
In vitro activity:
The aim of the present study was to assess whether these two apoptotic pathways are involved in myricetin‑induced cell death in SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells. The results revealed that treatment with myricetin inhibited viability of SKOV3 cells in a dose‑dependent manner. Myricetin induced nuclear chromatin condensation and fragmentation, and also upregulated the protein levels of active caspase 3 in a time‑dependent manner. In addition, myricetin upregulated ER stress‑associated proteins, glucose‑regulated protein‑78 and C/EBP homologous protein in SKOV3 cells. Reference: Mol Med Rep. 2016 Mar;13(3):2094-100. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26782830/
In vivo activity:
After 21 days of treatment, it was found that myricetin significantly alleviated myocardial injury in EAM (autoimmune myocarditis) mice. The serum anti-cardiac myosin antibody, immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgM levels and the proportion of T helper 17 (Th17) cells were decreased and the proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells was increased with the treatment of myricetin in EAM mice. The myosin-specific T cell proliferation was inhibited by myricetin. Meanwhile, myricetin suppressed the expressions of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), phospho (p)-p65, p-c-Jun and Act1/TRAF6/TAK1 in H9C2 cells and myocardial tissues of EAM mice.
