MedKoo Cat#: 146203 | Name: Isoelemicin

Description:

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

Isoelemicin is a naturally occurring phenylpropene compound found in certain essential oils, such as those from nutmeg. Structurally related to compounds like safrole and myristicin, isoelemicin has been studied for its psychoactive properties and potential as a precursor in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood but is thought to involve interaction with the central nervous system, possibly affecting monoamine neurotransmission. Applications of isoelemicin are limited, though it has attracted interest in psychopharmacology and organic synthesis research.
