| Toxicity | A naturally occurring methylenedioxyphenyl compound found in nutmeg. It has been suggested that myristicin may be responsible, in whole or in part, for the toxicity of nutmeg. The spice (5-15 g) causes symptoms similar to atropine poisoning: flushing of the skin, tachycardia, absence of salivation, and excitation of the CNS. Euphoria and hallucinations have given rise to abuse of this material. As a methylenedioxyphenyl compound, myristicin gives rise to a type III spectrum with reduced cytochrome P450 and can inhibit monooxygenations catalyzed by this cytochrome. |
