Produktinformation

• Name: (+/-)-Myricanol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Myricanol is a natural compound that has been shown to inhibit the activity of the COX-2 enzyme. It also has pro-apoptotic properties, which means it promotes cell death by activating caspases. Myricanol has been shown to activate survivin, a pro-apoptotic protein, in HL60 cells and induce apoptosis in mouse colonic epithelial cells. The biological properties of myricanol have not yet been fully investigated. Structural analysis revealed that myricanol is composed of two molecules of erythromycin linked together by an ester bond. Myricanol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo against oxidative injury induced by tertiary butylhydroperoxide and indomethacin. Myricanol may be used as a precursor for the synthesis of novel compounds with useful pharmacological activities.
