Description:

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

Myrislignan is a lignan that has been found in M. fragrans and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits hypocotyl or root growth of cress (IC50s = 429 and 517 µM, respectively). Myrislignan (50 µg/ml) inhibits production of nitric oxide (NO), increases in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and COX-2 levels, and release of TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. It inhibits the proliferation of, and induces apoptosis in, A549 lung cancer cells. Myrislignan (3, 5, and 8 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth in an A549 lung cancer mouse xenograft model. It decreases parasite burden in the liver, brain, and spleen in a mouse model of T. gondii infection when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg.

Product Data
Biological target:
Myrislignan, a lignan isolated from Myristica fragrans Houtt, possesses anti-inflammatory activities.
In vitro activity:
In the present study, the antiinflammatory effects and the underlying mechanisms of myrislignan in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were investigated. Myrislignan significantly inhibited LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) in a dose-dependent manner. It inhibited mRNA expression and release of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Reference: Phytother Res. 2012 Sep;26(9):1320-6. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22294521/
In vivo activity:
The current study tested the anti-T. gondii activity of myrislignan both in vitro and in vivo and explored its potential mechanism of action. In the in vivo murine model, myrislignan treatment significantly reduced the parasite burden in tissues compared to no treatment.
