What is Magnolia Bark Extract produced in NutraMax?

Honokiol is a biphenolic compound present in the cones, bark, and leaves of Magnolia grandifloris that has been used in the traditional Japanese medicine Saiboku-to as an anxiolytic, antithrombotic, anti-depressant, anti-emetic, and anti-bacterial. While early research on the effective compounds in traditional remedies have simply used whole magnolia bark extracts, known as houpu magnolia, recent work has identified honokiol and its structural isomer magnolol as the active compounds in magnolia bark. In the late 1990s, honokiol saw a revival in western countries as a potent and highly tolerable anti-tumorigenic and neurotrophic compound.

Magnololis a bioactive compound found in the bark of the Houpu magnolia (Magnolia officinalis). It is known to act on the GABA receptors in rats, as well as having antifungalproperties.

What will Magnolia Bark Extract be used for?

Anti-tumorigenic activities :

Honokiol has shown pro-apoptotic effects in melanoma, sarcoma, myeloma, leukemia,bladder, lung, prostate, oral squamous cell carcinoma andcolon cancer cell lines.

Honokiol inhibits phosphorylation of Akt, p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and src.

Additionally, honokiolregulates the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation pathway,an upstream effector of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), MCL1, and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), all significant pro-angiogenic and survival factors.

Neurotrophic activity :

Honokiol has been shown to promote neurite outgrowth and have neuroprotective effects in rat cortical neurons.

Additionally, honokiolincreases free cytoplasmic Ca2+ in rat cortical neurons.

Honokiol is a weak cannabinoid CB2 receptor ligand but the naturally occurring derivative 4-Omethylhonokiol

was shown to be a potent and selective cannabinoid CB2 receptor inverse agonist and to possess

antiosteoclastic effects.

Anti-thrombotic activity :

1) Honokiol inhibits platelet aggregation in rabbits in a dose-dependent manner, and protects cultured RAEC against oxidized low density lipoprotein injury.

2) Honokiol significantly increases the prostacyclin metabolite

6-keto-PGF1alpha, potentially the key factor in honokiol's anti-thrombotic activity.
