Praeruptorin A exerts neuroprotective, anti-osteoclastogenic, anti-inflammatory, distinct relaxant effects, it is beneficial to facilitate nestin expression in myocarditis,and suitable in treatment of early myocarditis. Praeruptorin A can significantly up-regulate UGT1A1 expression in HepG2 cells partially via the CAR-mediated pathway. Praeruptorin A inhibited p38/Akt-c-Fos-NFATc1 signaling and PLCγ-independent Ca2+ oscillation.

Triolein is a triglyceride formed by esterification of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol with oleic acid. Triolein is one of the two components of Lorenzo's oil. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is functionally related to an oleic acid.

Pinostrobin, a potent flavonoid inducer, exerts a neuroprotective effect against Aβ(25-35)-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells, at least in part, via inhibiting oxidative damage and calcium overload, as well as suppressing the mitochondrial pathway of cellular apoptosis. Pinostrobin has anti-inflammatory, anti-hemorrhagic and analgesic activity, it can inhibit HSV-1 replication with 50% effective concentration (EC(50)) of 22.71 ± 1.72 ug/ml. Pinostrobin is a monohydroxyflavanone that is (2S)-flavanone substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5 and a methoxy group at position 7 respectively. It has a role as an antidote and a plant metabolite. It is a monomethoxyflavanone and a monohydroxyflavanone. It is functionally related to a (2S)-flavanone.
