Anxiogenic activity of Myristica fragrans seeds

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2002
In the present study, the n-hexane extract of Myristica fragrans (MF) seeds, acetone-insoluble part of the n-hexane extract (AIMF) and trimyristin (TM) were assessed for their anxiogenic activity. The MF (10 and 30 mg/kg), AIMF (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg), and TM (10, 30, and 100 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally exhibited anxiogenic activity in ...

Biological effects of Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) extract

Phytotherapy Research, 1999
The chloroform extract of nutmeg has been evaluated for antiinflammatory, analgesic and antithrombotic activities in rodents. The extract inhibited the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, produced a reduction in writhings induced by acetic acid in mice and offered protection against thrombosis induced by ADP/adrenaline mixture in mice.

Antibacterial Principles from Myristica fragrans Seeds

Journal of Medicinal Food, 2006
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is used in food preparations for its aromatic flavor. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the antibacterial activity of constituents of M. fragrans seeds. Seeds of M. fragrans were powdered and extracted with chloroform to obtain trimyristin, which on saponification yielded myristic acid.

Further antibacterial compounds from Myristica fragrans

Investigational Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology, 2018
Background: Myristica fragrans Houtt is a medicinal food plant of the family Myristicaceae. Previous phytochemical investigation of its seed kernel known as nutmeg led to the isolation of antibacterial flavonoid, 3’,4’,7-trihydroxyflavone. The present study aimed at identifying further antibacterials of the crude methanol extract from nutmeg.

Diarylpropanoids from nutmeg and mace (Myristica fragrans Houtt.)

Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 1974
Some diarylpropanoid (bis-C6–C3) type compounds have been isolated during the course of a search for the psychoactive components present in the seed (nutmeg) and aril (mace) of the fruit of Myristica fragrans Houtt. The presence of two different structural types, analogous to the β-O-4 ether and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran types of dilignols, has been ...

The structure of macelignan from Myristica fragrans

Phytochemistry, 1987
Abstract A new lignan, macelignan, isolated from the arils of Myristica fragrans , is shown to have the structure (2 R ,3 S )-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethyl-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-butane by spectral analysis, chemical conversion and X-ray crystallographic analysis.
