It derives from a hydride of an aconitane. Benzoylmesconine has analgesic activity. Benzoylmesconine may improve the resistance of T6S-mice (or thermally injured mice) to the infection of HSV-1, through the induction of antagonistic CD4+ T cells against burn-associated type-2 T cells.

Anisodine is a traditional anticholinergics, it and anisodamine possess alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocking properties, they are widely used in the People's Republic of China for the management of acute circulatory shock . Anisodine can protect optic nerve of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) through improving the visual function and blood supply of optic nerve. The combination of Anisodine and citicoline with standard steroid and mannitol therapy appears to be effective in the treatment of early optic nerve contusion.

Magnocurarine is a natural product from Magnolia officinalis.

Bornyl acetate shows highly active whitening and antioxidant activities, has potential applications in cosmeceutical materials. Bornyl acetate has anti-inflammatory activity, may be developed as a preventive agent for lung inflammatory diseases and osteoarthritis; it also has an antiabortive effect through modulation of immunological balance at maternal-fetal interface.

Thermopsine exhibits antibacterial activity.

Chasmanine is a diterpene alkaloid with formula C25H41NO6 that is isolated from several Aconitum species. It has a role as an antifeedant and a plant metabolite. It is a diol, a diterpene alkaloid, a tertiary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, an organic heteropolycyclic compound, a polyether and a tertiary amino compound. It derives from a hydride of an aconitane. Chasmanine, hypaconitine, and deoxyaconitine are anti-inflammatory pharmacodynamic components in Heishunpian (HSP) with positive relations with HSP efficacy. Chasmanine has insecticidal activities against larvae of Bradysia odoriphaga Yan et Zhang.

Digoxin is a cardenolide glycoside that is digitoxin beta-hydroxylated at C-12. A cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata, it is used to control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation, but the margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. It has a role as an anti-arrhythmia drug, a cardiotonic drug, an epitope and an EC 3.6.3.9 (Na(+)/K(+)-transporting ATPase) inhibitor. Digoxin is a classical Na,K-ATPase inhibitor, with selectivity for the α2β3 isoform over the common α1β1 isoform, used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides can inhibit hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)α synthesis and block tumor growth.

Fuziline shows significant insecticidal activity against Nilaparvata legen and Aphis medicagini. Fuziline shows activity against pentobarbital sodiuminduced cardiomyocytes damage by obviously recovering beating rhythm and increasing the cell viability. Fuziline is a diterpene alkaloid. It is functionally related to an aconitane.

Anisodamine, an anticholinergic drug, has antishock effect, which is intimately linked to alpha7nAChR-dependent anti-inflammatory pathway. Anisodamine demonstrates a direct cardiac depressive action at the myocyte level, which may be related to, at least in part, NO production and cholinoceptor antagonism, it causes the changes of structure and function in the transmembrane domain of the Ca(2+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum. Anisodamine, a vasoactive drug, can abate endogenous endotoxaemia subsequent to splanchnic vasoconstriction due to hypovolaemia, it alleviates inflammatory damage by significantly reducing the expressions of VEGF and ICAM-1, and shows significant protective effects in an animal model of infusion phlebitis. Anisodamine also inhibits shiga toxin type 2-mediated tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in vitro and in vivo. Scopolamine is a non subtype selective muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. Scopolamine is used in traditional Chinese medicine research for various diseases, mainly for improving microcirculation in shock state, and can also be used for organophosphate poisoning.

Butylscopolamine bromide is an organic bromide salt of butylscopolamine. It is an antispasmodic drug which can relieve painful stomach cramps (including those linked with irritable bowel syndrome), bladder and menstrual cramps. It has a role as a muscarinic antagonist and an antispasmodic drug. It is a quaternary ammonium salt and an organic bromide salt. It contains a butylscopolamine. Scopolamine butylbromide is a competitive antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) with an IC50 of 55.3 ± 4.3 nM, it possesses anticholinergic, and anti-tumor effects, it used as an abdominal-specific antispasmodic agent. Scopolamine butylbromide is effective in preventing succinylcholine-induced bradycardia in infants and children.

Lappaconitine hydrobromide, a diterpene alkaloid, is a drug for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, it is a selective blocker of the TTX-sensitive Na+ channels, and does not influence on the activation threshold of Na+ channels. Lappaconitine hydrobromide can be used for local anesthesia, and analgesic treatment.
