Schisandrone has strong activities of anti-oxidation, effectively scavenges hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion, and has protective effects on cells under active oxygen stress state. Schisandrone can significantly decrease phosphorylation levels of Tau protein at 396, 262 sites, and relieve neuronal injury, but the phosphorylation level does not reach a negative cell level; it can suppress the Aβ-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction through influencing NF-κB signaling pathway, exerting its protective effect on Alzheimer disease.

Flavonol is a monohydroxyflavone that is the 3-hydroxy derivative of flavone. It is a member of flavonols and a monohydroxyflavone. It is a conjugate acid of a flavonol(1-).

Tectol has anti-plasmodial activity, it as a moderately active growth inhibitor with an IC50 3.44±0.20μM. It exhibited significant activity against human leukemia cell lines HL60 and CEM. Tectol may cause itchy dermatitis, the dermatitis appeared on the neck, upper legs, underarms, and trunk area.

Xanthyletin has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-bacterial activities, it also inhibits symbiotic fungus cultivated by leaf-cutting ants. Xanthyletin exhibits potent inhibition (IC50 values ≤ 4.79 ug/mL) of superoxide anion generation by human nutrophils in response to N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine/cytochalasin B (fMLP/CB); it inhibits fMLP/CB-induced elastase release with IC50 values ≤ 5.48 ug/mL.
