3-hydroxy Myristicacid methyl ester is a hydroxylated fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in E. camaldulensis and E. torelliana extracts. [1] It is active against M. tuberculosis (MIC = 49.5 μg ml) and is non-cytotoxic to Vero cells (IC50 = >100 μM). 3-hydroxy Myristicacid methyl ester is also a volatile compound that contributes to the aroma of red wild strawberries (F. pentaphylla) but is not present in cultivated strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa).[2] Reference:[1].

12-methyl Myristicacid methyl ester is a methylated fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in vermicomposts of cattle manure, carica papaya leaves, and cuticular wax of K. africana. It is a volatile compound in lipid-lowering granulated tea. Levels of 12-methyl myristicacid methyl ester are decreased in T. cruzi treated with nifurtimox compared to non-treated controls.
13-methyl Myristicacid methyl ester is a methylated bacterial fatty acid methyl ester. It has been used as a marker of bacteria in sewage sludges and of bacterial contaminants in pharmaceutical manufacturing by GC-MS.
Photoclick myristicacid, a saturated fatty acid derivative, features a terminal clickable alkyne moiety and a photoactivatable diazirine group at the 10th carbon position. This compound facilitates the study of protein lipidation through its application as a probe in long-chain saturated fatty acids.
2-Hydroxy MyristicAcid Methyl Ester, a rare hydroxylated fatty acid methyl ester isolated from aquatic microbial sources, experiences a decrease in levels to <1% within these communities following Atradex pesticide exposure at 245 mg/L concentration. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1704]
Myristoyl coenzyme A (myristoyl-CoA) is a derivative of CoA that contains the long-chain fatty acidmyristicacid . It is a substrate for N-myristoyltransferase during myristoylation, a process that adds a myristoyl group to proteins either during translation to modify protein activity or post-translationally in apoptotic cells. It is also a substrate in the de novo synthesis of phosphatidylinositol .
