Disease relevance of Myrica

• The dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Myrica serrata inhibits growth of Cladosporium cucumerinum, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli on TLC plates [1].
• Application of Myrica nagi at doses of 2.0 mg and 4.0 mg/kg body weight in acetone prior to that of cumene hydroperoxide (30 mg/animal/0.2 ml acetone) treatment resulted in significant inhibition of cumene hydroperoxide-induced cutaneous oxidative stress and toxicity in a dose-dependent manner [2].

High impact information on Myrica

• Sera from 30 subjects who underwent 31 challenges were assayed for bayberry pollen extract-specific IgE by plate radioimmunoassay [3].
• A novel non-peptide endothelin antagonist isolated from bayberry, Myrica cerifera [4].
• A potent non-peptide ET receptor antagonist, myriceron caffeoyl ester (50-235), was isolated from the bayberry, Myrica cerifera [4].
• Collagen fiber immobilized Myrica rubra tannin and its adsorption to UO2(2+) [5].
• In this study, the antiproliferative activity of prodelphinidin B-2 3, 3'-di-O-gallate (PB233'OG) isolated from the bark of Myrica rubra (Myricaceae) was investigated [6].

Biological context of Myrica

• Endothelin receptor antagonist triterpenoid, myriceric acid A, isolated from Myrica cerifera, and structure activity relationships of its derivatives [7].

Anatomical context of Myrica

• Antioxidant and radical scavenging effects were studied of a diethyl ether extract of the fruit exudate of Myrica gale L., and of C-methylated dihydrochalcones isolated from it [8].

Associations of Myrica with chemical compounds

• In this paper, Myrica rubra tannin was immobilized on collagen fiber by an aldehydic cross-linking reaction to prepare a novel adsorbent for uranium (UO2(2+)) recovery from wastewater [5].
• Inhibitors of nitric oxide production from the bark of Myrica rubra: structures of new biphenyl type diarylheptanoid glycosides and taraxerane type triterpene [9].
• Flavonol deoxyhexosides were more stable than the flavonol hexosides during bayberry juice processing [10].
• From the aerial parts of the Myrica gale catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, gallocatechin-(4 alpha-8)-epicatechin, gallocatechin-(4 alpha-8)-epigallocatechin, and gallocatechin-(4 alpha-8)-gallocatechin-(4 alpha-8)-gallocatechin (1), were isolated [11].
• The aqueous ethanol extract of Myricae Cortex (bark of Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc., Myricaceae) showed in vitro testosterone 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity and in vivo anti-androgenic activity using growth of flank organ in castrated Syrian hamsters and/or hair regrowth after shaving in testosterone-treated C57Black/6CrSlc mice [12].
