| Overview | Dehydrodiisoeugenol is a characteristic chemical component in nutmeg. Its English name is Dehydrodiisoeugenol, its molecular formula is C20H22O4, and its molecular weight is 326.39. It is a lignan compound. Dehydrodiisoeugenol is a characteristic chemical component in nutmeg. The 2010 Chinese Pharmacopoeia uses dehydrodiisoeugenol as the only basis for identifying nutmeg. However, consulting a large number of documents found that at present, only the conventional crystallization of dehydrodiisoeugenol is introduced, but none of them can well separate high-purity dehydrodiisoeugenol. |
| biological activity | Dehydrodiisoeugenol isolated from Myristica fragrans Houtt has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Dehydrodiisoeugenol inhibits NF-κB activation and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 gene expression in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages. |
| target | NF-κB; COX-2 |
| use | dehydrodiisoeugenol has anti-tumor effect. Used for content determination/identification/pharmacological experiments and other pharmacological effects: the effect of warming and promoting qi, astringency and antidiarrheal. |
