Chemistry:Myricanol

From HandWiki

Myricanol, is a natural product which acts as an activator of the enzymes nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)[1] and SIRT1,[2][3] along with various other activities. It is derived from the ayurvedic medicinal plant Myrica nagi and other related species along with other similar compounds such as myricetin.[4][5][6]

It has hepatoprotective,[4] reno-protective[7] neuroprotective[8] and anti-cancer properties[9] in experimental models, and lowers levels of microtubule-associated protein tau.[10][11]
