Panaxydol has anti-cancer activity, can inhibit the growth and apoptosis of cancer cells, the signaling mechanisms involve a [Ca(2+)](i) increase, JNK and p38 MAPK activation, cAMP, MAP kinase and ROS generation through NADPH oxidase and mitochondria. It induces the differentiation in C6 cells, may through a PI 3-K-dependent pathway. Panaxydol is a natural product found in Panax ginseng. It is an epoxide, an acetylenic compound and an olefinic compound.

Gelsemine is a highly toxic compound and may be a glycine receptor agonist. Gelsemine has antitumor, anti-hyperlipidemic,anti-oxidative activities,it also has marked antinociception in inflammatory, neuropathic and bone cancer pains without inducing antinociceptive tolerance.

Diosmetin has anti-osteoporosis, cytoprotective, antibacterial, anti-pigmentation, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it induces osteoblastic differentiation through the PKCδ-Rac1-MEK3/6-p38 and PKCδ-Rac1-MEK1/2- ERK1/2-Runx2 pathways.Diosmetin has intracellular antioxidant detoxifying effect, the mechanism is associated with both nonenzymatic and enzymatic defense systems.Diosmetin and luteolin exert synergistic cytostatic effects in human hepatoma HepG2 cells via CYP1A-catalyzed metabolism, activation of JNK and ERK and P53/P21 up-regulation. Diosmetin is a monomethoxyflavone that is the 4'-methyl ether derivative of luteolin. It is a natural product isolated from citrus fruits which exhibits a range of pharmacological activities. It has a role as a tropomyosin-related kinase B receptor agonist, an antioxidant, an antineoplastic agent, a vasodilator agent, an angiogenesis inhibitor, a bone density conservation agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an apoptosis inducer, a plant metabolite and a cardioprotective agent.

Soyasaponins(Aa, Ab, Af, Ba, Bb, and Bb') together with their derivatives may represent viable candidates for effective vaccine adjuvants due to their higher and lower or non-haemolytic effects.Soyasaponins Ab and Bb prevent scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice without the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.

10-Deacetyltaxolis a taxane diterpenoid. 10 Deactyltaxol is a paclitaxel derivative isolated from Taxus chinensis. 10 Deactyltaxol can promote the polymerization of microtubules and inhibit microtubule depolymerization induced by cold or calcium ions in vitro. 10 Deathtyltaxol exhibits cytotoxicity towards human glioblastoma and neuroblastoma cells.
