Myriceric acid B is a potent HIV-1 entry inhibitor targeting gp41 and can serve as a lead compound for novel anti-HIV-1 drug development. It scavenges DPPH free radicals with an IC50 value of 21.8 µM and inhibits aromatase activity with an IC50 value of [incomplete data].
Myricanol can elicit growth inhibitory and cytotoxic effects on lung cancer cells, it can significantly decelerate tumor growth in vivo by inducing apoptosis.
Myricanone has antioxidant, and anticancer activities, it has apoptosis-promoting ability by triggering caspase activation, and suppression of cell proliferation by down-regulation of NF-κB and STAT3 signalling cascades. Myricanone shows in vitro testost
Masticadienolic acid is a specific competitive inhibitor of secreted phospholipase A2, it not only protects the active site histidine from alkylation but also inhibits the action of secreted from pancreas, synovial fluid, and bee venom. Masticadienolic ac
