Description
InformationMyrislignan, a lignan isolated fromMyristica fragrans Houtt, possesses anti-inflammatory activities. Myrislignan inhibitsinterleukin-6 (IL-6)andtumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Myrislignan significantly inhibits the expressions ofinducible NO synthase (iNOS)andcyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)dose-dependently in LPS-stimulated macrophage cells. Myrislignan inhibits theNF-κBsignalling pathway activation.TargetsIL-6 ; TNF-α ; iNOS ; COX-2 ; NF-κB
