Alliin is an L-alanine derivative in which one of the methyl hydrogens of L-alanine has been replaced by an (S)-allylsulfinyl group. It has a role as an antioxidant, an antimicrobial agent, a neuroprotective agent, a plant metabolite and a cardioprotective agent. It is a sulfoxide, an olefinic compound, a L-cysteine derivative, a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid and a L-alanine derivative. It is a tautomer of an alliin zwitterion. Alliin has antiglycating potential , it offers protection against glucose or methyglyoxal induced glycation of superoxide dismutase, hence is expected to have therapeutic potential in the prevention of glycation-mediated diabetic complications. Alliin has anti-inflammatory activity, it protects against Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) by activating PPARγ, which subsequently inhibits LPS-induced NF-κB activation and inflammatory response; alliin has an inhibitory effect in osteoclasteogenesis with a dose-dependent manner via blocking the c-Fos-NFATc1 signaling pathway, it could be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of osteoporosis. Alliin and sabinene have detectable levels of antimicrobial activity. Alliin， Oral active sulfoxide compounds can be isolated from garlic, which have hypoglycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities.

4-Hydroxyisoleucine is an isoleucine derivative. 4-Hydroxyisoleucine has antidepressant-like, antidyslipidemic, and antihyperglycemic effects. It acts to improve insulin resistance by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis in high fructose diet fed STZ induced diabetic rats, it also has beneficial effects on low-grade inflammation. 4-Hydroxyisoleucineis an orally active amino acid that can be isolated from fenugreek seeds. 4-Hydroxyisoleucine has insulin promoting and anti diabetes properties.

Dehydroevodiamine hydrochloride has novel anti-cholinesterase and antiamnesic activities, it inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in a dose-dependent and non-competitive manner(IC50=37.8 microM); its potent antiamnesic effect is thought to be due to the combined effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibition and the known cerebral blood flow enhancement. Dehydroevodiamine hydrochloride (0.1-0.3 mg/kg iv) can increase the cerebral blood flow recorded from the surface of the supra-sylvian gyrus in anesthetized cats, suggest that it selectively increases cerebral blood flow.

Benzoylhypaconine is a diterpene alkaloid with formula C31H43NO9 that is isolated from several Aconitum species. It has a role as a xenobiotic, a phytotoxin, a plant metabolite, a human urinary metabolite and a rat metabolite. It is a diterpene alkaloid, a tertiary alcohol, a triol, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, a benzoate ester, an organic heteropolycyclic compound, a polyether and a tertiary amino compound. It derives from a hydride of an aconitane.

Arecoline hydrobromide is an organic molecular entity. It has a role as a toxin and a carcinogenic agent. Arecoline hydrobromide is formerly used as a cholinergic agent, it is a hypotensive agent. Arecoline hydrobromide is purgative, vermifuge and taenifuge agents in veterinary medicine. It induces rat hepatic CYP2 B by promoting nuclear translocation of CAR, the regulation of it on rat hepatic CYP2 B largely involve transcriptional activation of the gene,partially involve the post-translational modification of CYP2 B protein. Arecoline hydrobromide， A natural alkaloid that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and has oral activity, and is a partial agonist of nicotine and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Arecoline hydrobromide has stimulating, alert, anti anxiety, and anti parasitic effects. Arecoline hydrobromide can also induce oxidative stress.

4'-demethylpodophyllotoxin is an organic heterotetracyclic compound that is podophyllotoxin in which the methyl ether group at position 4 of the trimethoxyphenyl group has been cleaved to afford the corresponding phenol. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a member of phenols, an organic heterotetracyclic compound and a furonaphthodioxole.

1-Methyl-L-tryptophan is an indolyl carboxylic acid.
