    Product Description

    Myristicin (Item No. 15201) is an alkenylbenzene present in small amounts in the essential oil of nutmeg that is reported to act as a serotonin receptor antagonist, a weak monamine oxidase inhibitor, and to produce hallucinogenic effects.1 Abuse of myristicin has led to fatal poisoning, which has prompted improved methods for HPLC determination of myristicin in human plasma.2 This product is intended for forensic and research purposes.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
