Muscone (541-92-3) is a macrocyclic ketone found naturally in a glandular secretion of the musk deer which acts at human odorant receptor OR5AN1 and is used in perfumes.1  It suppresses inflammatory responses and neuronal damage in various models including a rat model of cervical spondylotic myelopathy2 and relieves inflammatory pain acting via the NOX4/JAK2-STAT3 and NLRP3 inflammasome pathway3.  In the cardiovascular system it alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury4 and improves cardiac function in mice after myocardial infarction5 via enhancement of angiogenesis6.
