Inulicin is a terpene lactone.

Physalin F is a physalin with antimalarial and antitumour activities isolated from Physalis angulata. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an immunosuppressive agent, an antimalarial, an apoptosis inducer and an antileishmanial agent. It is an epoxy steroid, a lactone, an enone and a physalin.

Pimpinellin has phototoxic, it acts as antagonist of proteins with GABA receptor activity. Pimpinellin has anti- inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities. Pimpinellin also has anti-bacterial activity, it shows inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Ra , with MICs of 812 uM and IC50s of 389 uM.

Isocurcumenol inhibits 5α-reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

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.

(2S)-2'-methoxykurarinone is a dimethoxyflavanone that is (2S)-()-kurarinone in which the hydroxy group at position 2' is replaced by a methoxy group. Isolated from the roots of Sophora flavescens, it exhibits cytotoxicity against human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells. It has a role as a metabolite and an antineoplastic agent. It is a member of 4'-hydroxyflavanones, a dimethoxyflavanone and a dihydroxyflavanone. It is functionally related to a (2S)-(-)-kurarinone.

Crenulatin has dual- direction effects on apoptosis of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells, inhibitive effect in 25 mg/L and stimulative effect in 100 mg/L group, respectively; the mechanism is related to the alterations of Fas/Bcl-2 expression and caspase-3 activity.
