Swertianolin is a xanthone that is bellidifolin in which a beta-Dglucopyranosyl residue is attached at position O-8 via a glycosidic linkage. It is isolated particularly from Gentiana campestris and Gentiana germanica. It has a role as an antioxidant, an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, an aromatic ether, a monosaccharide derivative and a xanthone glycoside. It is functionally related to a bellidifolin. Swertianolin shows anti-acetylcholinesterase activity effects, it shows significant hepatoprotective effect in the liver damage model induced by alpha-naphthylisot hiocyanate. Swertianolin can scavenge superoxide and hydroxyl radicals with the studying method of the autoxidation of Pyrogallol and afenton.

Plumbagin is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone that is 1,4-naphthoquinone in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 5 are substituted by methyl and hydroxy groups, respectively. It has a role as a metabolite, an antineoplastic agent, an anticoagulant and an immunological adjuvant. It is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and a member of phenols.

Nordalbergin is a neoflavonoid.

Phloretic acid is a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid consisting of propionic acid having a 4-hydroxyphenyl group at the 3-position. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a phloretate.

Isomorellic acid is a cytotoxic caged xanthone.

Garcinone C is a potent inhibitor of AChE. It is an active compound against both of pathogenic (MIC =100 μg/ml) and non-pathogenic leptospira (MIC = 200 μg/ml). Garcinone C exhibits either significant or moderate cytotoxicity against MCF-7, A549, Hep-G2 and CNEhuman cancer cell lines in vitro.

Deoxylapachol is a member of the class of 1,4-naphthoquinones that is 1,4-naphthoquinone substituted by a 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl group at position 2. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an antifungal agent, a marine metabolite, a plant metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is a member of 1,4-naphthoquinones and an olefinic compound. Deoxylapachol has anti-wood rot activity, it can inhibit the brown rot fungi Gloeophyllum sepiarium CBS 353.74 and Gloeophyllum trabeum CBS 318.50 and the white rot fungi Merulius tremellosus CBS 280.73 and Phlebia brevispora CBS 509.92. It also can induce fungal cell wall stress.
