Biological Activity

Myrislignan is a natural lignan isolated from Myristica fragrans Houtt that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Downstream of NF-κB pathway suppression, myrislignan dose-dependently reduces the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage cells. Consequently, it inhibits the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). [1]
