Myrislignan is a PI3K/AKT/NF-κB inhibitor that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Myrislignan exerts anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis and ferroptosis. Myrislignan inhibits the replication and invasion of Toxoplasma gondii; it induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) imbalance, autophagy, and the death of Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites. Myrislignan inhibits mitochondrial function and ERK1/2 phosphorylation to improve ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Myrislignan can be used in studies related to gastric cancer, glioblastoma, osteoporosis, and toxoplasmosis.

Trimyristin is an orally active compound. Trimyristin can be isolated from the seeds of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans). Trimyristin inhibits the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), ACP and ALP, with IC₅₀ values of 0.11, 0.16 and 0.18 mM, respectively. Trimyristin exerts competitive-noncompetitive inhibition on acetylcholinesterase, uncompetitive inhibition on ACP, and competitive/noncompetitive inhibition on ALP. Trimyristin restores the downregulated acetylcholinesterase concentration in the cerebral cortex of rats exposed to sodium arsenite. Trimyristin can be used in studies related to fascioliasis and neurotoxicity.

Myristic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Myristic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Myristic acid is an orally active saturated 14-carbon fatty acid found in most animal and plant fats, especially milk fat coconut oil, palm oil and nutmeg oil. Myristic acid exerts anti-inflammatory activity through the NF-κB pathway. Myristic acid has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
