Magnolol is a kind of biphenol compound, which is the main active ingredient of Magnolia officinalis. Magnolol was first isolated from Magnolia officinalis japonica in 1930. Magnolol is a fine brown to white powder with an aromatic, pungent, slightly bitter smell. The monomer is a colorless acicular crystal (water) with a melting point of 102℃. Soluble in benzene, ether, chloroform, acetone and common organic solvents. It is difficult to dissolve in water, but it is easy to dissolve in dilute caustic soda solution to produce sodium salts. Magnolol has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor and other effects, and can relieve muscle tension and relax muscles.
There are about 90 species of magnolia in the world and 30 species in China, among which about 20 species have medicinal value. Magnolia officinalis grows on the sunny slopes and forest margins with fertile and deep soil at an altitude of 300 ~ 1700m. [Origin] Magnolia officinalis is mainly distributed in western Hubei, southern Sichuan, southern Shaanxi and southern Gansu. Magnolia officinalis is mainly distributed in Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Guangxi and northern Guangdong. Magnolia officinalis and Magnolia officinalis have cross distribution, both have large area artificial cultivation.
Magnolol had obvious antibacterial effects, and had the lowest inhibitory concentrations to Candida, Microspore, tinea microphylla, Aspergillus Niger, Cryptococcus neoformances and Candida albicans, and to Bacillus subtilis and Mycobacterium smegnemitis. Magnolol has the ability to kill bacteria in the mouth and eliminate bad breath. It has become one of the main ingredients in menthol and chewing gum.
Magnolol inhibited lymphocyte budding, ear swelling, capillary wall permeability, white blood cell migration and fibrous tissue proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. It can also alter the cytokine pattern of inflammation-related diseases, reducing inflammatory factors and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory factors. We found that the concentration of TNF-1 in plasma and tissues increased in hemorrhagic shock, while IL, a representative anti-inflammatory factor, remained unchanged in organs and tissues. Magnolol can decrease the concentration of magnolol in lung and increase the concentration of magnolol in lung.
