General description

Macelignan is a naturally occurring compound that has scavenging effects on free-radicals and inhibits prostaglandin. It also exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Macelignan is a neuroprotective lingan isolated from nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) that protects dopaminergic neurons from inflammatory degeneration. Apparently, the neuroprotective effect of macelignan is mediated by PPARγ activation and arginase-1 expression. Macelignan inhibits LPS induced production of NO as well and inflammatory cytokines including TNF and IL- 1β in primary cultures of microglia.

Previous studies have shown that macelignan has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Subsequently, in the current study, we demonstrate that oral administrations of macelignan reduce the hippocampal microglial activation induced by chronic infusions of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the fourth ventricle of
