Myristicin is a naturally occurring compound found in common herbs and spices, such as nutmeg.[1][2] It is an insecticide, and has been shown to enhance the effectiveness of other insecticides.[1][3]
When ingested, myristicin may produce hallucinogenic effects,[1][4] and can be converted to MMDMA in controlled chemical synthesis.[5] It interacts with many enzymes and signaling pathways in the body,[6][7] and may have dose-dependent cytotoxicity in living cells.[6] Myristicin is listed in the Hazardous Substances Data Bank.[1]
