Biochem/physiol Actions

The metabolite myricitrin, 3-O-rhamnoside of myricetin, is found in plants, e.g. in the bark of Myrica esculenta (Myricaceae) and in the leaves of Myrica gale and in Chrysobalanus icaco. It is a feeding stimulant for some leaf beetles; and shown to have strong antioxidant activity against DPPH. Myricitrin may be of potential interest in the management of inflammatory conditions, and could constitute an attractive molecule of interest for the development of new analgesic drugs. Myricitrin is a nitric oxide (NO) and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor that has central nervous system activity, including anxiolytic-like action.

Myricitrin is a nitric oxide (NO) and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor that has central nervous system activity, including anxiolytic-like action. Nitric oxide inhibitors blocked the behavioral effects of apomorphine, suggesting an antipsychotic-like effect. Furthermore, PKC inhibition reduced psychotic symptoms

The present work explored the antinociceptive effects of the flavonoid myricitrin in models of overt nociception triggered by intraplantar injection of chemical algogens into the hind paw of mice. The nociception induced by bradykinin (3 nmol/paw i.pl.) was abolished by

Flavonoids are increasingly being ingested by the general population as chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory agents. They are potentially toxic because of their conversion to free radicals and reactive quinones by peroxidases. Little detailed information is available on how flavonoids interact with
