Use of Muscone

Muscone is the main active monomer of traditional Chinese medicine musk. Muscone inhibits NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Muscone remarkably decreases the levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6), and ultimately improves cardiac function and survival rate[1].

Target	NF-κB NLRP3 TNF-α IL-1β IL-6
In Vitro	Muscone significantly downregulates the levels of LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines and inhibits NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). Muscone serves as a promising and effective drug for post-myocardial infarction (MI) treatment[1].
