Hyperforin acts as an angiogenesis inhibitor, it as a possible antidepressant component of hypericum extracts. Hyperforin acts as a dual inhibitor of 5-LO and COX-1 in intact cells as well as on the catalytic activity of the crude enzymes, suggesting therapeutic potential in inflammatory and allergic diseases connected to eicosanoids.

Hypocrellin B is a naphthalenone.

Plumbagin is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone that is 1,4-naphthoquinone in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 5 are substituted by methyl and hydroxy groups, respectively. It has a role as a metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, an anticoagulant and an immunological adjuvant. It is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and a member of phenols.

Kaurenoic acid has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and embryotoxic effects; it exerts a uterine relaxant effect acting principally through calcium blockade and in part, by the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Kaurenoic acid involves the inhibition of cytokine production and activation of the NO-cyclic GMP-protein kinase G-ATP-sensitive potassium channel signaling pathway. Ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid is an ent-kaurane diterpenoid that is ent-kauran-19-oic acid in which a double bond is present at position 16(17); exhibits anticancer and anti-HIV 1 activity. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an anti-HIV-1 agent and a plant metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of an ent-kaur-16-en-19-oate.

Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene endoperoxide which is a potent antimalarial agent. Artemisinin is active against different bacteria and certain fungal species. It inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α-induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

Norchelerythrine shows significant inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 with MIC values ranging from 12.5 to 50 ug/mL. It exhibits strong antifeeding activity in a concentration-dependant manner with the EC50 of 62.67 ppm. Norchelerythrine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid.

Geraniol is a terpene alcohol occurring in the essential oils of several aromatic plants used in the flavour and fragrance industries. It also exhibits insecticidal and repellent properties and used as a natural pest control agent exhibiting low toxicity.Geraniol is a glutathion S transferase inhibitor, shows anticarcinogenic props. Geraniol is a monoterpenoid consisting of two prenyl units linked head-to-tail and functionalised with a hydroxy group at its tail end. It has a role as a volatile oil component, a fragrance, an allergen and a plant metabolite. It is a primary alcohol, a 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-ol and a monoterpenoid.

Primin has antimycobacterial, and strong antineoplastic actions. Primin has potent activity against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 0.144 microM) and Leishmania donovani (IC50 0.711 microM), and low cytotoxicity (IC50 15.4 microM) on mammalian cells; it could serve as a lead compound for the rational design of more potent and less toxic antiprotozoal agents. Primin is a 1,4-benzoquinone having a methoxy substituent at the 2-position and a pentyl substituent at the 6-position. It has a role as an antifeedant, a metabolite, an antimicrobial agent, an allergen and a hapten.
