This invention is directed to a novel inhibitor on collagen degradation caused by the activity of a human cathepsin K rising. In particular, the inhibitor is myricetin or derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to use of the novel inhibitor to manufacture a medicament in a form of pharmaceuticals, foods, nutraceuticals or cosmetics for the prevention, amelioration and/or treatment of pathological symptoms or diseases associated with collagen degradation. Alternatively, the present invention is further directed to addition of the novel inhibitor to a medicament, food, nutraceutical or cosmetics used for the treatment, amelioration and/or prevention of the disease or pathological symptoms associated with collagen degradation by the increased human cathepsin K activety. The invention also provide the methods for treating, ameliorating and/or preventing the symptoms or diseases, comprising administering an effective amount of the medicament to a subject in need thereof.
