Piplartine is a member of cinnamamides and a dicarboximide.

Notoginsenoside Ft1 is a novel stimulator of angiogenesis, it stimulates angiogenesis via HIF-1α-mediated VEGF expression, with PI3K/AKT and Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascades concurrently participating in the process; it has the potential therapeutic effect on human neuroblastoma, it can arrest the proliferation and elicited the apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells possibly via p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 pathways.Notoginsenoside Ft1 activates both glucocorticoid and estrogen receptors to induce endothelium-dependent, nitric oxide-mediated relaxations in rat mesenteric arteries. Notoginsenoside Ft1 also provides a great potential application of it in clinics for patients with diabetic foot ulcers, it may accelerate diabetic wound healing by orchestrating multiple processes, including promoting fibroblast proliferation, enhancing angiogenesis, and attenuating inflammatory response.

Senkyunolide A is a useful standard compound for the quality evaluation and chemical differentiation between Rhizoma chuanxiong and Angelica sinensis, and suitable for the analysis of a large number of samples. Senkyunolide A has the vasorelaxation activity in contractions to various contractile agents in rat isolated aorta.

Maackiain is an antimicrobial compound (phytoalexins), it has anticancer effects, it induces apoptosis and growth suppression. Maackiain also shows strong larvicidal activity (LC50 = 21.95 ± 1.34 ug/mL). (-)-maackiain is the ()-enantiomer of maackiain. It is an enantiomer of a (+)-maackiain.

Loureirin A has an inhibitory effect on platelet activation, perhaps through an impairment of PI3K/Akt signaling. Loureirin A activates Wnt/-catenin pathway and promotes hair follicle stem cells (FSCs)-seeded tissue-engineered skin to repair skin wound.The molecular mechanism of Loureirin A and Wnt signaling pathway mediated anti- hepatic fibrosis and anti- angiogenesis may involve down- regulation the expression of Frizzled- 4,inhibiting the synthesis and secretion of α- SMA,TGF- β1and the proliferation of HSCs.

Ginsenoside Ro has antioxidative properties against UV-B-induced oxidative stress in human dermal fibroblasts, it possesses a potential skin anti-photoaging property against UV-B radiation in fibroblasts. It also exerts anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation in IL-1β-induced rat chondrocytes, which might be related to NF-κB signal pathway, it might be a potential novel drug for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Ginsenoside Ro enhances in vivo hair re-growth based on their inhibitory activity against 5αR in the androgenetic alopecia model, it shows immunomodulatory effects by regulating the production and expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines in murine splenocytes. Chikusetsusaponin-V is a triterpenoid saponin. It has a role as a metabolite.

1. Kaempferol activates LXR-β and suppresses SREBP-1 to enhance symptoms in metabolic syndrome. 2. Kaempferol exerts a potent inhibitory effect on in vitro bone resorption. 3. Kaempferol has anti-inflammatory action, can prevent and treat inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and ankylosing spondylitis. 4. Kaempferol has therapeutic potential for the prevention and treatment of thrombovascular diseases, can enhance relaxations caused by endothelium-derived and exogenous NO as well as those due to endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization. 5. Kaempferol can inhibit cancer cell invasion through blocking the PKCδ/MAPK/AP-1 cascade and subsequent MMP-9 expression and its activity, may act as a therapeutic potential candidate for cancer metastasis. 6. Kaempferol is an autophagic enhancer, has a more general protection in Parkinson's disease, can mediate antiapoptotic and antioxidant effects is the enhancement of mitochondrial turnover by autophagy.

Senkyunolide I may be an active component of L. chuanxiong, traditionally used to treat migraine, it can protect rat brain against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by up-regulating p-Erk1/2, Nrf2/HO-1 and inhibiting caspase 3, the neuroprotective mechanisms of itI are associated with its anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis properties. Senkyunolide I can reduce the metamorphose damage of the RBC caused by ConA, the aggregation of the RBC can be alleviated by it.

Methyl brevifolincarboxylate is an organic heterotricyclic compound that is 1,2,3,5-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]isochromene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 7, 8 and 9, oxo groups at positions 3 and 5 and a methoxycarbonyl group at position 1. Isolated from Phyllanthus urinaria and Phyllanthus niruri, it exhibits vasorelaxant activity. It has a role as a metabolite, a vasodilator agent, a radical scavenger, an EC 5.99.1.

Pseudojervine is a steroid saponin.

L-Quebrachitol can as a sugar substitute for diabetics. Administration of sea buckthorn juice enriched in L-quebrachitol can increase fasting insulin level in plasma and show similar effects on random blood glucose level, glucose tolerance and the pancreatic tissue as observed for pure sea buckthorn juice.

Sodium ferulate is an organic sodium salt resulting from the replacement of the proton from the 3-hydroxy group of ferulic acid by a sodium ion. It has a role as an antioxidant, a MALDI matrix material, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inhibitor, a plant metabolite and a cardioprotective agent. It contains a trans-ferulate.
