  • Title: ​Myricetin
    Peer Reviewers: ​Sydney Santos
    Introduction:
    Myricetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that can either be extracted from Southern Wax Myrtle, or it can be consumed in diet through a variety of foods such as red wine, berries, vegetables, and tea (Ristic, 2020). It is known for its antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Currently, many research studies are looking into how Myricetin can help treat or slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia by reducing the cognitive decline associated with these diseases. One recent study looked into how Myricetin was able to improve the brain symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), such as cognitive disabilities, in rats that were induced with TBIs (Mirshekar et al., 2019). As well as being known for its ability to reduce oxidative stress induced damage on the central nervous system, Myricetin is also being researched for its potential antitumor properties, which may include modifying cancer hallmarks such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and signaling pathways (Devi et al., 2015).
    Future Research Opportunities:
    ● Antitumor properties
    ● Molecular mechanisms behind how it improves cognitive deficits
    ● More clinical trials to observe its long-term effectiveness in humans
    ● Study its neuroprotective properties
