Ajmalicine is a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid with formula C21H24N2O3, isolated from several Rauvolfia and Catharanthus species. It is a selective alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It has a role as a vasodilator agent, an antihypertensive agent and an alpha-adrenergic antagonist. It is a methyl ester, an organic heteropentacyclic compound and a monoterpenoid indole alkaloid. It is a conjugate base of an ajmalicine(1+).

Coryneine (Trimethyl(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)aminium) is a quaternary ammonium derivative of dopamine derived from aconite root.

p-Synephrine is widely used in weight loss and weight management as well as in sports performance products, which has antidepressant-like effects in the murine models of forced swimming and tail suspension, it also exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Synephrine inhibits eotaxin-1 expression via the STAT6 signaling pathway. Synephrine is a phenethylamine alkaloid that is 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol substituted by a hydroxy group at position 1 and a methyl group at the amino nitrogen. It has a role as an alpha-adrenergic agonist and a plant metabolite. It is a member of ethanolamines, a member of phenols and a phenethylamine alkaloid. It is a conjugate base of a synephrinium.

Denudatine has effects on action potential of ventricular fibers and has inhibition on arrhythmogenic action of aconitine.

Cyclovirobuxine D(CVB-D) has vasorelaxant effect, it has been widely used for treatment of cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmias in China, the antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic potential of this drug might be concerned with prolongation of action potential duration and QT interval. CVB-D can induce autophagy in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line by attenuating the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR , CVB-D-induced autophagy and decrease in cell viability could be blocked by 3-methyladenine, a well-established autophagy inhibitor.

(+)-R-Coclaurine and (+)-S-reticuline show negative inotropic effects, coclaurine derivatives and of paeoniflorin derivatives have neuromuscular blocking actions. D-Coclaurine has a neuroleptic-like property in blocking effects of dopaminergic stimulating agents. (R)-coclaurine is a coclaurine. It is an enantiomer of a (S)-coclaurine.

Dauricine may has neuroprotective, and anti-tumor effects, it can pass the blood‑brain barrier, and that P‑glycoprotein has an important role in the transportation of Dauricine across the blood‑brain barrier, it can inhibit tumor cells in urinary system and colon cancer cell proliferation, invasion; induce cell apoptosis by suppressing NF-kappaB activity and the expression profile of its downstream genes. Dauricine also has pulmonary toxicity, can produce pulmonary injury in CD-1 mice by the metabolism of Dauricine mediated by CYP3A. Dauricine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid resulting from the formal oxidative dimerisation of 4-{[(1R)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl]methyl}phenol by attachment of the phenolic oxygen of one molecule to the benzene ring of the second (ortho to the phenolic hydroxy group of the latter). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, a member of isoquinolines, a member of phenols, an aromatic ether and a tertiary amino compound.
