1'-Oxomyristicin is a phenyl vinyl ketone believed to be an intermediate metabolite that forms from 1'-hydroxymyristicin, a metabolite of myristicin.[4]
Corresponding 1'-oxo metabolites have been found for the closely related 1'-hydroxy metabolites of safrole[4][3], methyl eugenol[5], and methyl chavicol[2].
Alkaloid Metabolites Created In Vivo
1'-Oxomyristicin is believed to be the primary myristicin metabolite that leads to the creation of 2 alkaloids found in vivo after the ingestion of myristicin.[1] These alkaloids are believed to be responsible for the psychedelic activity of myristicin.[1]
3-piperidyl-1-(3'methoxy-4',5'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1-propanone
This is the piperidine alkaloid metabolite of myristicin. See the article on 3-piperidyl-1-(3'methoxy-4',5'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1-propanone for more details on this alkaloid metabolite.
3-pyrrolidinyl-1-(3'methoxy-4',5'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1-propanone
This is the pyrrolidine alkaloid metabolite of myristicin.
Note that dimethylamine alkaloid metabolites of myristicin have not been found, but have been found for several other related allylbenzenes.[1]
