What is Myristicin?
Description
Myristicin is an alkenylbenzene present in small amounts in the essential oil of nutmeg that is reported to act as a serotonin receptor antagonist, a weak monamine oxidase inhibitor, and to produce hallucinogenic effects. Abuse of myristicin has led to fatal poisoning, which has prompted improved methods for HPLC determination of myristicin in human plasma. This product is intended for forensic and research purposes.
Chemical properties
Crystalline phenolic ether with a strongodor.
The Uses of Myristicin
A naturally occurring insecticide and acaricide with possible neurotoxic effects on neuroblastoma cells
Definition
The chief substance inthe ripe seeds of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans).It reduces the levels of cytochrome p-450 andinhibits monooxygenations catalyzed by thisenzyme.
Hazard
Poison; moderately toxic; mutagen.
