Murraol shows the significant proliferative activities on osteoblast-like UMR106 cells lines at the concentration of 1 × 10-10 mol L. It and auraptenol show 63 ug mL MIC value against Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 4352 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 9372.
3'-O-Methylmurraol may have potential anti-inflammatory activity, it exhibits inhibition (IC50 ≤ 7.31 ug mL) of superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils in response to formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine cytochalasin B (fMLP CB).
