Myricitrin has strong antioxidant activity as radical scavenger and metal-ion chelator. Myricitrin has been reported to inhibit the aldose reductase activity and the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein, and has anti-malarial effect[1].
Myricitrin exhibits a strong scavenging activity against DPPH and NO radicals, as well as H2O2 (IC50 = 1.31 μg/mL, 21.54 μg/mL and 28.46 μg/mL, respectively)[2].
Raw264.7 cells are pre-treated with Myricitrin (0.2-1 mM) for 2 h and stimulates with LPS (HY-D1056) at a concentration of 100 ng/mL for 4 h. Myricitrin inhibits TNFα production and enhances RANTES (regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted) production in LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 cells. It should be noted that the inhibitory effect of Myricitrin is not observed when Myricitrin was added either simultaneously or after LPS stimulation[3].
Myricitrin shows proliferation inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 value of 5.4 µg/mL[4].

Myricitrin (5-30 mg/kg; i.p.; once) dose-dependently blocks the stereotypy and climbing induced by Apomorphine (HY-12723) at doses that does not induce catalepsy[5].

Animal Model:BALB/cN mice (10-12 weeks old, 23-27 g) following CCl4-intoxication[2]
-
Dosage:10, 30 and 100 mg/kg (0.5% Methylcellulose (HY-125861))
-
Administration:Oral gavage; once daily; for two consecutive days
-
Result:Significantly ameliorated CCl4-induced increase in serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels and histopathological changes in the liver.
Hepatic oxidative stress was reduced, as evidenced by the decrease in lipid peroxidation, with concomitant increase in GSH level and CYP2E1 expression.
COX-2 and TNF-α overexpression in the liver was reduced.
The expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA was markedly ameliorated.
Increased proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.38 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
