Hecogenin, a steroid saponin isolated from Agave sisalana, is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of UGT1A4 with an IC50 value of 1.5 μM. Hecogenin has anti-cancer, antiproliferative,antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, it can protect gastro by K⁺(ATP) channels opening and the COX-2/PG pathway. Hecogenin has inhibition of human rheumatoid arthritis synovial cell survival, the effect is associated with increased apoptosis, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2.

Kakuol has antifungal activity, it can completely inhibit the mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea Pers ex Fr and Cladosporium cucumerinum Ellis & Arthur at 50 microg ml(-1) and 30 microg ml(-1), respectively. Kakuol and a derivative analogue are able to inhibit the DNA relaxation mediated by the human enzyme.

Corypalmine (IC50=128.0±10.5 uM) can inhibit prolyl oligopeptidase. (-)-Corypalmine shows inhibition activity against spore germination of some fungi.

Benzoic acid is a compound comprising a benzene ring core carrying a carboxylic acid substituent. It has a role as an EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor, an EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor, an antimicrobial food preservative, a plant metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite, an algal metabolite and a drug allergen. It is a conjugate acid of a benzoate. Benzoic acid is a colorless crystalline solid and a simple aromatic carboxylic acid, used as a food preservative. Benzoic acid can improve feed efficiency and diarrhoea, and improve gut microfloral composition.

Hederagenin 3-O-arabinoside is a triterpenoid saponin that is hederagenin attached to an alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl residue at position 3 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid, an alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, a triterpenoid saponin and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a hederagenin. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane. Cauloside A exhibits concentration- and time-dependent mitochondriotoxic activities.

Eurycomanone has anti-cancer activity, it is cytotoxic on HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis through the up-regulation of p53 and Bax, and down-regulation of Bcl-2.

Mogroside V is a widely used sweetener, has in vitro AMPK activating effect, it also has anti-inflammatory potential in murine macrophages and a murine ear edema model, and has the potential to protect against LPS-induced airway inflammation in a model of ALI. Mogroside V is a mogroside and a beta-D-glucoside. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a Siamenoside I.

Isovanillin is a member of the class of benzaldehydes that is 4-methoxybenzaldehyde substituted by a hydroxy group at position 3. It is an inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase. It has a role as a HIV protease inhibitor, an antifungal agent, an antidiarrhoeal drug, an EC 1.2.3.1 (aldehyde oxidase) inhibitor, an animal metabolite and a plant metabolite.
