Myricitrin is a plant compound, the 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside ofmyricetin.[1]
It can be isolated from the root bark ofMyrica cerifera (bayberry, a small tree native to North America), inMyrica esculenta, inNymphaea lotus[2] andN. odorata, inChrysobalanus icaco[3] and inPolygonum aviculare.[4]
Myricitrin is used by several beetle species in their communication system.[5] These includePlagioderma versicolora,Agelastica coerulea,Atrachya menetrisi,Altica nipponica,Altica oleracea,Gastrolina depressa.
Myricitrin is anitric oxide andprotein kinase C inhibitor and exhibitsantipsychotic-like andanxiolytic-like effects inanimal models of psychosis and anxiety respectively.[6]
