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.

Description

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[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

AChE

0.11 mM (IC50)

ACP

0.16 mM (IC50)

ALP

0.18 mM (IC50)

In Vitro

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.

In Vivo

Trimyristin (2.80-12.43 mg/L; aquatic exposure; 24 or 96 hours) causes significant, concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of AChE, ACP, and ALP in the nervous tissue of Lymnaea acuminata, with maximum inhibition of 37% for AChE, 36% for ACP, and 39% for ALP observed at the 80% 96 h LC50 dose[1].
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].

Reduced acid phosphatase (ACP) activity to 87%, 80%, 73%, and 64% of control levels after exposure to 40% 24 h LC50, 80% 24 h LC50, 40% 96 h LC50, and 80% 96 h LC50 of trimyristin, respectively.
Reduced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity to 92%, 84%, 71%, and 61% of control levels after exposure to 40% 24 h LC50, 80% 24 h LC50, 40% 96 h LC50, and 80% 96 h LC50 of trimyristin, respectively.
Caused statistically significant (P < .05) concentration- and time-dependent inhibition of AChE, ACP, and ALP, with maximum inhibition of 37% for AChE, 36% for ACP, and 39% for ALP observed at the 80% 96 h LC50 dose.
Animal Model: Wistar (adult male, 150-250 g, average 200 g, sodium arsenite-induced neurotoxicity)[2]
Dosage: 15 mg/kg; 30 mg/kg

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
