Rhododendrol is an inhibitor of melanin synthesis developed for lightening/whitening cosmetics, it can competitively inhibit mushroom tyrosinase and serve as a good substrate, while it also shows cytotoxicity against cultured human melanocytes at high concentrations sufficient for inhibiting tyrosinase. (+)-Rhododendrol and epi-rhododendrin have anti-inflammatory effect, they can suppress the NO production by activated macrophages in vivo.

Calenduloside E, a potent anti-apoptotic agent, has anti-tumour and anti-angiogenic activities, it can protect against ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury in our previous reports. Calenduloside E has anti-inflammary activity, it inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory response by blocking ROS-mediated activation of JAK1-stat3 signaling pathway in RAW264.7 cells. Calenduloside E analogues provide protection to H9c2 cardiomyocytes against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, most likely via anti-apoptotic mechanism. Oleanolic acid 3-O-beta-D-glucosiduronic acid is a beta-D-glucosiduronic acid. It is functionally related to an oleanolic acid.

6-Hydroxykaempferol is a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase compared to L-DOPA, it shows also high antioxidant activities.

Feretoside can increase the expression of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) by a factor of 1.153 at 3 uM.

Glaucocalyxin A could potentially be developed as an antiplatelet and antithrombotic agent, can inhibit platelet p-selectin secretion and integrin activation by convulxin, is a GPVI selective ligand. Glaucocalyxin A has regulation of microglia activity, can attenuate lipopolysaccharide -stimulated neuroinflammation through NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.Glaucocalyxin A may become a potential anti-fibrotic agent in Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) management, it can effectively ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis through the antagonism of leukocyte infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine production.

Bayogenin, arjunolic acid, hederagonic acid and 4-epi-hederagonic acid are gly-cogen phosphorylase inhibitors with moderate potency. Bayogenin is a pentacyclic triterpenoid. It derives from a hydride of an oleanane.

Lupeol palmitate is a natural product from Ligularia songarica.

Glycyrrhetic acid 3-O-glucuronide is a triterpenoid saponin that is the 3-O-beta-glucuronide of glycyrrhetic acid. It is a metabolite of glycyrrhizin contained in licorice and potentially a causative agent in the pathogenesis of pseudoaldosteronism. It has a role as an EC 1.1.1.146 (11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) inhibitor, a sweetening agent, an anti-allergic agent, a plant metabolite and a human xenobiotic metabolite.

3-O-Acetyloleanolic acid exhibits anti-angiogenic effects, it inhibits proliferation, migration and tube formation of umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a dose-dependent manner; it can inhibit VEGF-A-induced lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis in an oral squamous cell carcinoma animal model. 3-O-Acetyloleanolic acid. 3-O-Acetyloleanolic acid is a type of oleanolic acid extracted from Vigna sinensis K. seeds, which can induce cancer cell apoptosis and has anti angiogenic effects.

Licraside（licuraside） has potency and ability to inhibit mushroom tyrosinase monophenolase activity with an IC(50) value of 0.072 mM. Licraside（Licurazid） has anticancer properties.

Eupalinolide A and Eupalinolide B induce the expression of HSP70 via the activation of HSF1 by inhibiting the interaction between HSF1 and HSP90. They could be beneficial for use in cosmetics and medicines as a consequence of their inhibitory action on UV-induced skin damage and melanin production.

Teprenone is a terpene ketone in which a (9E,13E)-geranylgernayl group is bonded to one of the alpha-methyls of acetone (it is a mixture of 5E- and 5Z-geoisomers in a 3:2 ratio). It has a role as an anti-ulcer drug, a hepatoprotective agent, a neuroprotective agent, a nephroprotective agent, a cardioprotective agent and a Hsp70 inducer. It is a terpene ketone and a methyl ketone. It contains a geranylgeranyl group.

Ursonic acid is a triterpenoid. Ursonic acid, a naturally occurring triterpenoid, induces the apoptosis of human cancer cells through multiple signaling pathways. Ursonic acid has antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus types I and II in vitro; it also could be used in preparation of depression treatment medicine.
