Trimyristin
Based on 1 Customer Validation
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.

Trimyristin (0.04-0.15 mM; 15 min preincubation) potently inhibits AChE (IC50 = 0.11 mM), ACP (IC50 = 0.16 mM), and ALP (IC50 = 0.18 mM) in nervous tissue homogenates of Lymnaea acuminata snails via competitive noncompetitive inhibition of AChE and ALP, and uncompetitive inhibition of ACP[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Trimyristin (15-30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 6 weeks) restores sodium arsenite-induced downregulated cerebral cortex acetylcholinesterase concentrations to baseline control levels in adult male Wistar rats[2].
Trimyristin (15-30 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 9 weeks) shows that chronic treatment with 30 mg/kg significantly reduces cerebral cortex acetylcholinesterase concentrations in adult male Wistar rats, while 15 mg/kg maintains control-level concentrations[2].
