Celosin H, celosin I, and celosin J could be used as chemical markers for the quality control of C. argentea seeds. Celosin I exhibited significant hepatoprotective effect on carbon tetrachloride-induced and N,N-dimethylformamide-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

Dehydroandrographolide succinate can alleviate oxidative stress in LPS-induced acute lung injury possibly by inactivating iNOS. It combined with ribavirin treatedchildren with hand-foodand mouth disease,the duration of fever was shorter,rashes on hands and feet more quickyly.

Aloenin and aloe-emodin are active principles for inhibition of c-ADH and c-ALDH activities in vitro.

Fucoxanthin shows anti-obesity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic effects. Dietary combination of fucoxanthin and fish oil attenuates the weight gain of white adipose tissue and decreases blood glucose in obese/diabetic KK-Ay mice. Fucoxanthin suppresses the inflammation of endotoxin-induced uveitis by blocking the iNOS and COX-2 protein expression and its anti-inflammatory effect on eye is comparable with the effect of predinisolone used in similar doses. Fucoxanthin is an epoxycarotenol that is found in brown seaweed and which exhibits anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative and neuroprotective properties. It has a role as a hypoglycemic agent, a hepatoprotective agent, a neuroprotective agent, a CFTR potentiator, an apoptosis inhibitor, a marine metabolite, a plant metabolite, a food antioxidant and an algal metabolite. It is a tertiary alcohol, an epoxycarotenol, a secondary alcohol, a member of allenes and an acetate ester.

Mogroside II-A2 is a 3-hydroxy steroid, a steroid saponin and a disaccharide derivative. Mogroside II-A2 is a natural product from Siraitia grosvenorii Swingle.

4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol possesses anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti- nociceptive activity possibly via its down-regulating activity on NO production, which may be partly responsible for the pharmacological efficacy of several folkloric medicines. It exhibits beneficial effects in cerebral ischemic injury, has neuroprotective effect through upregulation of Nrf2, Prdx6, and PDI expression via the PI3K/Akt pathway. P-hydroxybenzyl alcohol is a member of the class of benzyl alcohols that is benzyl alcohol substituted by a hydroxy group at position 4. It has been isolated from Arcangelisia gusanlung. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a member of benzyl alcohols and a member of phenols.
