Trachelogenin has antiproliferative effect, the mechanism is related to affect the phosphorylation of key proteins such as β-Catenin, c-Myc and GSK3 in the β-Catenin signaling pathway in a concentration-dependent manner.

After treatment with CVGI, Raffinose family oligosaccharide was hydrolyzed effectively to yield galactose and sucrose. AA-PCD resistance in Raffinose-grown cells occurs with a decrease in both ROS production and cytochrome c release as compared to glucose-grown cells en route to AA-PCD.

Saikosaponin b2 is a saikosaponin.

Saikogenin D possesses a dual effect: an inhibition of A23187-induced PGE2 production without a direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity; and an elevation of [Ca2+]i that is attributed to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Saikogenin D has immunomodulatory effect, it can attenuate IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated alveolar macrophages of B6 more than in that of BALB.

Benvitimod is a stilbenoid.

Nystose has antioxidant capacity. Nystose and 1-Kestose can modulate the intestinal Microorganisms flora, a high content of kestose and nestose in the diet can cause a decrease in ileal and cecal pH (to 5.42 and 5.49, respectively)of turkeys, which may promote digestion.

Saikosaponin C exhibits anti-HBV activity, it has the potential for therapeutic angiogenesis but is not suitable for cancer therapy, it also might be a novel therapeutic tool for treating human AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. It inhibited caspase-3 activation and caspase-3-mediated-FAK degradation, induced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)、vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 、the p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, ERK). Saikosaponin C is a member of the class of saikosaponins that is saikogenin E substituted by a 6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl-(14)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(16)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl group at position 3beta. It is a natural product isolated from the traditional Chinese herb, Radix Bupleuri and exhibits anti-HBV replication activity. It has a role as an anti-HBV agent and a plant metabolite.
