Description

Application

Myristicin from parsley leaf oil has been used to study competitive and uncompetitive inhibition of ACP (acid phosphatase) and ALP (alkaline phosphatase).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Myristicin induces the expression of glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 (Cyp1a-1) in liver cells. May enhance detoxification of carcinogenic substances.

General description

Myristicin, a phenylpropene, is an essential oil component. It has anticholinergic and psychotropic activities. Myristicin blocks cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, which detoxifies furanocoumarins. It functions as a serotonin receptor agonist and hallucinogenic agent. Myristicin stimulates glutathione S-transferase activity and might function as a chemopreventive agent. It acts as a precursor for the metabolite 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).
