Catalpol is a kind of enzyme inhibitors, it has been shown to have antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis and other neuroprotective properties and plays a role in neuroprotection against hypoxic/ischemic injury, AD and PD in both in vivo and in vitro models.Catalpol regulates cholinergic nerve system function through effect on choline acetyl-transferase not M receptor affinity, it has a wide spectrum of targets including Bcl-2 , PI3K, Akt-eNOS, caspase. Catalpol is an organic molecular entity. It has a role as a metabolite.

Pellitorine is a potential larvicide with a specific target site and a lead molecule for the control of mosquito populations, it also shows antiprotozoal activity against Plasmodium falciparum (IC50 = 3.3 ug/mL). Pellitorine shows potent antiplatelet aggregation activity, it can suppress expression of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2. Pellitorine also shows strong cytotoxic activities against HL60 and MCT-7 cell lines. Pellitorine is a fatty amide. It has a role as a metabolite.

Inulicin is a terpene lactone.

Allosecurinine is a member of indolizines.

Corydine is the adrenolytic and weak cholinergic agent, it shows antimicrobial, and antineoplastic activities. Corydine shows irritant and respiratory stimulant and CNS depressant activities. Injected intravenously in rabbits corydine produced an initial fall in blood pressure followed by a return to normal or above normal.

Rhodiosin exhibits potent, dose-dependent inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), it also can inhibit cytochrome P450 2D6 non-competitively with the IC50 value of 0.761 microM. Rhodiosin has hepatoprotective effects, it shows a protective effect on D-galactosamine-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured mouse hepatocytes. Rhodiosin shows noncompetitive inhibition against Flavobacterium prolyl endopeptidase, with an IC50 of 41 microM, the enzyme that plays a role in the metabolism of proline-containing neuropeptidase which is recognized to be involved in learning and memory. Rhodiosin exhibits antioxidant activity, it could used as the treatment of lifestyle-related diseases such as hyperlipidemia and exogeneous obesity and as health foods.

The absorption and transport of angelol A and Angelol B are passive diffusion as the dominating process in Caco-2 cell monolayer model.

Rutaretin is a member of psoralens.

Dicoumarol is a hydroxycoumarin that is methane in which two hydrogens have each been substituted by a 4-hydroxycoumarin-3-yl group. Related to warfarin, it has been used as an anticoagulant. It has a role as an anticoagulant, an EC 1.6.5.2 [NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone)] inhibitor, a vitamin K antagonist and a Hsp90 inhibitor.

Acetagastrodin has antispasmodic effect on vascular smooth muscle. Acetagastrodin treatment may be an effective treatment to protect retinal neurons against such functional impairment during the early stages of diabetes.
