Description

Methyl eugenol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that belongs to the group of methyl eugenols. It has been shown to have genotoxic activity in response to oxidative injury and potent inhibitory properties against hydrogen fluoride. Methyl eugenol inhibits proliferation of cells by binding to the response element, which is a sequence of nucleotides on DNA that are recognized by transcription factors. The binding blocks the transcription factor from binding, preventing activation of gene transcription. Molecular docking analysis has been used to demonstrate the interaction between methyl eugenol and matrix effect enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Methyl eugenol also inhibits COX-2 activity and can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are important for pain sensation.
