Hypolipidaemic effect of Myristica fragrans fruit extract in rabbits
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1996The ethanolic extract of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) was studied in albino rabbits for its effects on experimentally induced hyperlipidaemia. After inducing hyperlipidaemia in 12 rabbits a dose of 500 mg/kg of the extract was administered orally daily for a period of 60 days in 6 rabbits (experimental group); the rest of the rabbits were observed as ...

The pharmacological effects of a ligroin extract of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans)
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1982A ligroin extract of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) caused a significant increase in the duration of light and deep sleep in the young chicken. The presence of trimyristin tended to increase the effect of the extract. The extract did not contain detectable amounts of myristicin, elemicin, safrole, or eugenol, which either individually or collectively have

Diarylpropanoids from nutmeg and mace (Myristica fragrans Houtt.)
Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 1974Some 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 ...

Antibacterial Principles from Myristica fragrans Seeds
Journal of Medicinal Food, 2006Nutmeg (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.
