Gallic acid functions as a TRPA1 antagonist with relevant antinociceptive and antiedematogenic effects in mice.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch. Pharmacol. 387(7) , 679-89, (2014)

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) has been identified as a relevant target for the development of novel analgesics. Gallic acid (GA) is a polyphenolic compound commonly found in green tea and various berries and possesses a wide range of biol...

Chemical constituents of Indonesian plant Protium javanicum Burm. f. and their antifeedant activities against Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.

Nat. Prod. Res. 27(3) , 270-3, (2013)

In the continuing study of antifeedant compounds in Protium javanicum Burm. f. against Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, 6-desacetylnimbin (1), quercitrin (2) and myricitrin (3) were isolated from P. javanicum extract. All compounds were characterised by NMR an...

Protective effects of myricitrin against osteoporosis via reducing reactive oxygen species and bone-resorbing cytokines.

Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 280(3) , 550-60, (2014)

Oxidative stress is a crucial pathogenic factor in the development of osteoporosis. Myricitrin, isolated from Myrica cerifera, is a potent antioxidant. We hypothesized that myricitrin possessed protective effects against osteoporosis by partially reducing rea...

Screening and biological evaluation of myricetin as a multiple target inhibitor insulin, epidermal growth factor, and androgen receptor; in silico and in vitro.

Invest. New Drugs 33 , 575-93, (2015)

Myricetin is a naturally omnipresent benzo-α-pyrone flavonoids derivative; has potent anticancer activity. Receptor tyrosine kinases family provides the decisive role in cancer initiation and progression. These receptors have recently caught the attention of ...

Myricitrin as a substrate and inhibitor of myeloperoxidase: implications for the pharmacological effects of flavonoids.

Free Radic. Biol. Med. 44(1) , 109-20, (2008)

Flavonoids are increasingly being ingested by the general population as chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory agents. They are potentially toxic because of their conversion to free radicals and reactive quinones by peroxidases. Little detailed information is...

Analysis of the antinociceptive effect of the flavonoid myricitrin: evidence for a role of the L-arginine-nitric oxide and protein kinase C pathways.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 316(2) , 789-96, (2006)

The present study investigated the antinociceptive effects of the flavonoid myricitrin in chemical behavioral models of pain in mice and rats. Myricitrin given by i.p. or p.o. routes produced dose-related antinociception when assessed on acetic acid-induced v...

Inhibitory effects of myricitrin on oxidative stress-induced endothelial damage and early atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice.

Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 271(1) , 114-26, (2013)

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a state of heightened oxidative stress characterized by lipid and protein oxidation in vascular walls. Oxidative stress-induced vascular endothelial cell (VEC) injury is a major factor in the pathogenesis of AS. Myricitrin, a natural f...

Anti-allodynic property of flavonoid myricitrin in models of persistent inflammatory and neuropathic pain in mice.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 72(12) , 1707-13, (2006)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of myricitrin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive action, upon persistent neuropathic and inflammatory pain. The neuropathic pain was caused by a partial ligation (2/3) of the sci...

The diarylheptanoid (+)-aR,11S-myricanol and two flavones from bayberry (Myrica cerifera) destabilize the microtubule-associated protein tau.

J. Nat. Prod. 74(1) , 38-44, (2011)

Target-based drug discovery for Alzheimer's disease (AD) centered on modulation of the amyloid β peptide has met with limited success. Therefore, recent efforts have focused on targeting the microtubule-associated protein tau. Tau pathologically accumulates i...

Myricitrin protects against peroxynitrite-mediated DNA damage and cytotoxicity in astrocytes.

Food Chem. 141(2) , 927-33, (2013)

Peroxynitrite, a potent oxidising and nitrating species, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of myricitrin on peroxynitrite-mediated toxicity and the underlying ...
