MAGNOLIA BARK EXTRACT: MAGNOLOL/HONOKIOL
Magnolia officinalis (commonly called houpu magnolia or magnolia-bark) is a species of
Magnolia native to the mountains and valleys of China at altitudes of 300–1500 m.
Magnolia offcinalis, a Chinese medicinal herb, has long been used for the relief of fever,
headache, anxiety, diarrhoea, stroke, and asthma. Magnolol, one of the compounds isolated from
Magnolia offcinalis, acts on the central nervous system, inhibits platelet coagulation and
lymphocyte proliferation, and is an anti-inflammatory agent and smooth muscle relaxant.The bark
contains magnolol and honokiol, two polyphenolic compounds that have been demonstrated as
peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) agonists and GABAA
modulators.
Preclinical studies have evaluated their various potential applications including antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial properties.

Mechanisms
Magnolol exhibits depressant effects on the CNS, to suppress the incidence of spike discharge, to
inhibit tonic extensor convulsions and death produced by an intracerebroventricular injection of
penicillin G potassium and to increase the threshold of NMDA-induced seizures. These
observations indicate that magnolol might have a potent antiepileptic effect.
The antiepileptic effect of magnolol was antagonized by flumazenil, suggesting that the
antiepileptic effect of magnolol might be mediated by the GABAA/ benzodiazepine receptor
complex and that magnolol may be a potential therapeutic agent for epilepsy.
