14-Deoxyandrographolide has hepatoprotective activity, mediates activation of adenylate cyclase-cAMP signaling leading to up-regulation of cNOS, may provide a promising approach in the prevention of liver diseases during chronic alcoholism. It desensitizes hepatocytes to TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis through the release of TNFRSF1A.

Albiflorin is a monoterpene glycoside with formula C23H28O11, originally isolated from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora. It has a role as a neuroprotective agent and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, a benzoate ester, a gamma-lactone and a monoterpene glycoside. Albiflorin has anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant-like effects. Albiflorin may reduce or prevent osteoblast degeneration in osteoporosis, and may promote the recovery of bone marrow hemopoietic function in a myelosuppressed mouse model, it has neuroprotective effect on primary hippocampal cells against β-amyloid induced toxicity. Albiflorin is a monoterpene glycoside with neuroprotective effects that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties.

Fuziline shows significant insecticidal activity against Nilaparvata legen and Aphis medicagini. Fuziline shows activity against pentobarbital sodiuminduced cardiomyocytes damage by obviously recovering beating rhythm and increasing the cell viability. Fuziline is a diterpene alkaloid. It is functionally related to an aconitane.

Ingenol mebutate is a tetracyclic diterpenoid ester obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2Z)-2-methylbut-2-enoic (angelic) acid with the 3-hydroxy group of ingenol. Used for the topical treatment of actinic keratosis. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. It is a carboxylic ester, a cyclic terpene ketone and a tetracyclic diterpenoid. It is functionally related to an angelic acid and an ingenol. Ingenol derivatives inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines, formulating novel derivatives from Ingenol esters may be an innovative approach to develop new lead compounds to reactivate latent HIV. Ingenol mebutate is an effective treatment for actinic keratosis.

Mesaconitine has antinociceptive activity, has inhibition of stimulus-triggered and spontaneous epileptiform activity in rat hippocampal slices. It has antiinflammatory activity, it induced Ca2+ influx and activation of nitric-oxide synthase in endothelial cells and, thus, induced vasorelaxation in rat aorta.

Baohuoside aglycone possesses cardioprotective effect in prevention of ischemia/ reperfusion injury and reduce the myocardial infraction, the mechnism is due to the reduction of the injury of free radicals.

Violanthin is a flavone C-glycoside that is flavone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 5, 7 and 4', a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 6 and a 6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl residue at position 8. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a trihydroxyflavone and a flavone C-glycoside. It is functionally related to a flavone.
