Abstract:
Myricetin is a kind of flavonoids widely existing in Myrica rubra and many other plants. Myricetin has lots of biological functions, such as antitumor, reducing blood sugar and lipid, protecting cardiovascular system, and reducing nervous injury. In recent years, people pay more attention to the antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and immunosuppressive activities of myricetin. This paper reviews the literatures on the pharmacological activities of myricetin in recent years at home and abroad and focuses on its effects and molecular mechanism of anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory and anti-oxidation activities, in order to provide the evidences for developing new drugs.
