Macelignan (Anwulignan) is a lignan. It can be found in Myristica fragrans, the nutmeg.
Medical research
One study has shown that macelignan may exert antimicrobial and anticariogenic activity against Streptococcus mutans, but this is not a currently used treatment.[1][2]
Macelignan may also act as an antidiabetic molecule via PPAR signaling[3] and upregulate adipocyte gene expression[4]
Macelignan may contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties[5][4] and is marketed in breast enhancement creams for its anti-aging properties.[6]
