(+)-Magnoflorine (Thalictrin) has sedative and anxiolytic effects, probably mediated by Magnoflorine through a GABAergic mechanism of action. Magnoflorine and Sinomenine have protective effects, are mediated by some mechanism other than prevention of micelle formation or protection of the erythrocyte membrane against osmotic imbalance.
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
Epimagnolin A is a lignan obtained from the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii, which is traditionally used in Asian medicine for treating headache and nasal congestion.
DL-Syringaresinol ( (±)-Syringaresinol) is a lignan from ginseng berries with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic and weak anti-mycobacterial activities.DL-Syringaresinol can delay oxidative stress-induced skin aging through autophagy, alleviate oxaliplatin-induced neuropathic pain and sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting inflammatory responses. neuropathic pain and sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting inflammatory responses.
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.
Liriodenine is a natural alkaloid that induces apoptosis in various cancer cells by targeting caspase-3 and caspase-9, and exhibits antimicrobial, antifungal, antitumour, antiviral, and antiplatelet aggregation activities.
4-O-Methyl honokiol (4-O-Methylhonokiol) is a lignan-like compound obtained from Magnolia officinalis and Magnolia officinalis. It is a PPARγ agonist with antiangiogenic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, and it can inhibit the activity of NF-κB, which can be used in cancer research.
Magnolin reduces the renal oxidative stress, suppresses caspase-3 activity, and increases Bcl-2 expression in vivo and in vitro. Magnolin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects.
Kobusin, a bisepoxylignan compound isolated from Pnonobio biondii Pamp, demonstrates CFTR and CaCC chloride channel activation properties while exhibiting inhibitory effects on ANO1/CaCC channels.
1. Fargesin ((+/-)-Fargesin) as a potential β1AR antagonist through cAMP/PKA pathway could protect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. 2. Fargesin improves dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia by activating Akt and AMPK in WAT.
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.
1. Dehydrodiisoeugenol has anti-inflammatory activity. (1). Dehydrodiisoeugenol inhibited the expression of the COX-2 in RAW264.7 murine macrophages stimulated with LPS. (2). Dehydrodiisoeugenol inhibited LPS-stimulated phosphorylation-dependent proteolys
