Myristic acid (Crodacid) , a 14 carbon saturated fatty acid, is a rare molecule in cells and is a substrate of some fatty acid desaturases. This compound has the ability to acylate proteins by covalently binding to the N-terminal glycine residues, in a process called N-terminal myristoylation. Myristoylation of substrate proteins by this fatty acid has the potential to activate and mediate many physiological pathways. Furthermore, saturated fatty acids have been reported to be essential for biological activities of lipopolysaccharides and have demonstrated the ability to induce expression of COX-2 and NFκB (nuclear factor κB) activation.
Myrislignan has anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities, it inhibited NF-κB signalling pathway activation, inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, it also significantly induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest

1-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-allly-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)propan-1-ol shows anti-staphylococcal activity against a total of five multidrug-resistant (MDR) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC
Fragransin A2 is a natural product of Myristica, Myristicaceae. The catalog number is TN4078 and the CAS number is 112652-46-7. Fragransin A2 can be used as a reference standard.
Myristicin (Myristicine) is a natural product found in spices and umbelliferous plants. Myristicin has anti-cholinergic, Antibacterial, and hepatoprotective effects, it also has anti-inflammatory properties related with its inhibition of NO, cytokines,chemokines, and growth factors in dsRNA-stimulated macrophages via the calcium pathway. Myristicin can induce Apoptosis as characterised by alterations in the mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c release, Caspase-3 activation, PARP-cleavage and DNA fragmentation.
