Asebogenin has anti-bacterial activity, it shows inhibitory activity against S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (IC50 of 10 and 4.5 micrograms/ml, respectively); it shows antiplasmodial activities against both a chloroquine-sensitive and a resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Asebogenin can inhibit the proliferation of murine B cells. Asebogenin is a member of the class of dihydrochalcones that is the 4'-methyl ether derivative of phloretin. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a phloretin.

2-Hydroxy-6-tridecylbenzoic acid is a hydroxybenzoic acid. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid.

Piceatannol is a stilbenol that is trans-stilbene in which one of the phenyl groups is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 4, while the other phenyl group is substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 5. It has a role as a geroprotector, a hypoglycemic agent, an antineoplastic agent, a protein kinase inhibitor, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an apoptosis inducer and a plant metabolite. It is a polyphenol, a member of catechols, a member of resorcinols and a stilbenol. Piceatannol has antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, it also has the potential to control obesity. Piceatannol inhibits effector T cell functions by suppressing TcR signaling.

Dehydroabietinol inhibits growth of chloroquine-sensitive as well as chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum cultivated in erythrocytes in vitro (IC 50 26-27 microM). Dehydroabietadienol is an abietane diterpenoid and a carbotricyclic compound.
