| Description | Methysticin is a kavalactone isolated from the kava roots. Methylsticin (Methysticin) exhibit osteoclast formation inhibitory activity. It inhibits activation of NF-χB in lung adenocarcinoma tissue, activates Nrf2 in neurons and astroglia, decreases peak amplitude of voltage-gated Na+ channels in hippocampal neurons, and suppresses growth of Fusarium, Trichoderma, and Colletotrichum. |
| In vitro | Kavalactones 及其组成物对调节破骨细胞活动具有作用，因此，在治疗或预防由破骨细胞活动介导的疾病或疾病症状方面具有应用价值。 |
| Synonyms | 麻醉椒苦素, Methysticin |
