7-Epitaxol is the major derivative of taxol found in cells and taxol (paclitaxel) is a well-known natural-source cancer drug.

Inulicin is a terpene lactone.

Formononetin is a phytoestrogen, could be used in postmenopausal osteoporosis. It has antitumorigenic effects, suppressed the proliferation of human non-small cell lung cancer through induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis; it also exhibits antiviral activities against some members of Picornaviridae, could inhibit EV71-induced COX-2 expression and PGE2 production via MAPKs pathway including ERK, p38 and JNK. Formononetin is a member of the class of 7-hydroxyisoflavones that is 7-hydroxyisoflavone substituted by a methoxy group at position 4'. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a phytoestrogen. It is a member of 4'-methoxyisoflavones and a member of 7-hydroxyisoflavones. It is functionally related to a daidzein. It is a conjugate acid of a formononetin(1-).

Epimedin C is a glycoside and a member of flavonoids.

Tsugaric acid A can significantly inhibit superoxide anion formation in fMLP/CB-stimulated rat neutrophils, it is also able to protect human keratinocytes against damage induced by ultraviolet B (UV B) light, indicates that tsugaric acid A can protect keratinocytes from photodamage.

Icaritin, a potent inhibitor of transcription factor SREBPs, which exhibits a variety of biological activities, such as activation of cancer cell apoptosis and inhibition of growth, hormone regulation, protection against beta amyloid-induced neurotoxicity, and promotion of neuronal and cardiac cellular differentiation. Icaritin shows potent anti-leukemia activity on chronic myeloid leukemia in vitro and in vivo by regulating MAPK/ERK/JNK and JAK2/STAT3 /AKT signalings.

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.

Icariside I is a metabolite product of Icariin.

Amentoflavone is a biflavonoid that is obtained by oxidative coupling of two molecules of apigenin resulting in a bond between positions C-3 of the hydroxyphenyl ring and C-8 of the chromene ring. A natural product found particularly in Ginkgo biloba and Hypericum perforatum. It has a role as an antiviral agent, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a P450 inhibitor, a cathepsin B inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a hydroxyflavone, a ring assembly and a biflavonoid. Amentoflavone is a novel natural inhibitor of human Cathepsin B(CatB), which has antifungal , antioxidant, antiviral, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities, it stimulates apoptosis in HSFBs and inhibits angiogenesis of endothelial cells, it is a promising molecule that can be used in hypertrophic scar treatment. Amentoflavone regulated β-catenin and caspase-3 expressions, and inhibited NF-κB signal transduction pathways. Amentoflavone (Didemeethyl ginkgetin) is an effective and orally active GABA (A) negative regulator. Amentoflavone also exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-tumor, anti radiation, and antibacterial activities. Amentoflavone induces cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the sub-G1 phase.

Rhein-8-glucoside has low laxative activity.

Agrimol B has antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas syringae pv. lacrymans (bacterial leaf spot pathogen), Ralstonia solanacearum (tomato bacterial wilt pathogen) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci (Tobacco wild fire pathogen). Agrimol B has a therapeutic potential on alleviating obesity, through modulation of SIRT1-PPARγ signal pathway. Agrimol B is a polyphenol and an orally effective SIRT1 activator. Agrimol B as anti adipogenic and anticancer activities. Agrimol B has antibacterial activity against plant pathogens. Agrimol B significantly inhibits the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes by reducing the expression of PPAR γ, C/EBP α, FAS, UCP-1, and apoE. The effect of Agrimol B on cancer cells may be attributed to its effects on c-MYC, SKP2, and p27.

Genistein, a phytoestrogen found in soy products, is a highly specific inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) which blocks the mitogenic effect mediated by EGF on NIH-3T3 cells with IC50 of 12μM or by insulin with IC50 of 19 μM. Genistein has neuroprotective, antitumor effects, it modulates the expression of NF-κB and MAPK (p-38 and ERK1/2), thereby attenuating d-Galactosamine induced fulminant hepatic failure in Wistar rats. Genistein is a 7-hydroxyisoflavone with additional hydroxy groups at positions 5 and 4'. It is a phytoestrogenic isoflavone with antioxidant properties. It has a role as a geroprotector, an antineoplastic agent, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an EC 5.99.1.3 [DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing)] inhibitor, a plant metabolite, a phytoestrogen and a human urinary metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a genistein(1-).

Epimedin A has anti-osteoporosis activity.

Methyl vanillate is a benzoate ester that is the methyl ester of vanillic acid. It has a role as an antioxidant and a plant metabolite. It is a member of phenols, an aromatic ether and a benzoate ester. It is functionally related to a vanillic acid.
