Licarin A and (-)-Licarin A are promising compounds that could be used for the development of schistosomicidal and trypanocidal agents; Licarin A presents effect against Leishmania (Leishmania) major associated with immunomodulation in vitro; (-)-Licarin A has antimycobacterial activity, represents a potentially active anti-tuberculosis agent to treat MDR M. tuberculosis and NTM strains.Licarin A significantly protects primary cultured neuronal cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, via antioxidative activities.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid is a nine-carbon, sialic acid monosaccharide commonly found in glycoproteins on cell membranes and in glycolipids such as gangliosides in mammalian cells.Synthesis of pyrrolidine analogues of N‐acetylneuraminic acid could as potential sialidase inhibitors. N-Acetylneuraminic acid-containing substances has growth-promoting effects on bifidobacteria, a number of N-acetylneuraminic acid-based compounds as potential rotavirus inhibitors. N-acetyl-beta-neuraminic acid is N-Acetylneuraminic acid with beta configuration at the anomeric centre. It has a role as an epitope. It is functionally related to a beta-neuraminic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-acetyl-beta-neuraminate.

Pinosylvin is likely to act as a pro-angiogenic factor, it has anti-inflammatory activity, it may be utilized as a phytotherapic agent for the prevention of cardiovascular inflammatory diseases. Pinosylvin is an effective inhibitor of neutrophil activity, and is potentially useful as a complementary medicine in states associated with persistent inflammation. Pinosylvin has protection against oxidative stress through the induction of HO-1 in human RPE cells. Pinosylvin has inhibition against White-Rot and Brown-Rot Fungi.

Canthin-6-one is an indole alkaloid that is 6H-indolo[3,2,1-de][1,5]naphthyridine substituted by an oxo group at position 6. It has a role as a metabolite and an antimycobacterial drug. It is an organic heterotetracyclic compound, an indole alkaloid and an enone. Canthin-6-one has antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects, possibly by interfering with the G2/M transition; it also has antiinflammatory activity by interfering with the transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 at transcriptional level.
