Eriocalyxin B induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells through caspase- and p53-dependent pathways, should be considered a candidate for pancreatic cancer treatment; it is a specific inhibitor of STAT3, it directly targets STAT3 through a covalent linkage to inhibit the phosphorylation and activation of STAT3 and induces apoptosis of STAT3-dependent tumor cells. Eriocalyxin B exerts potent antiinflammatory effects through selective modulation of pathogenic Th1 and Th17 cells by targeting critical signaling pathways. Eriocalyxin B reversibly interfer with the binding of p65 and p50 subunits to the DNA in a noncompetitive manner.

Kuwanone G is a tetrahydroxyflavone isolated from the root barks of Morus alba and has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a member of resorcinols and a tetrahydroxyflavone.

11-Keto-beta-boswellic acid, a novel Nrf2 activator, and a selective 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor; it exerts dose dependent cardioprotective effect manifested by dose-dependent reduction in serum lactate dehydrogenase; and it can increase the Nrf2 and HO-1 expression, which provides protection against oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced oxidative insult. 11-Keto-beta-boswellic acid possesses significant anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumoral activities. 11-Keto-beta-boswellic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid acid derived from the oil resin of the bark of the Boswellia serrate tree, commonly known as Indian Frankincense. 11-Keto-beta-boswellic acid has anti-inflammatory activity, mainly due to its inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), leukotriene, NF - κ B activation, and tumor necrosis factor alpha production.

Combretastatin A4 is a stilbenoid.

Phorbol 13-acetate 12-myristate is a phorbol ester that is phorbol in which the hydroxy groups at the cyclopropane ring juction (position 13) and the adjacent carbon (position 12) have been converted into the corresponding acetate and myristate esters. It is a major active constituent of the seed oil of Croton tiglium. It has been used as a tumour promoting agent for skin carcinogenesis in rodents and is associated with increased cell proliferation of malignant cells. Phorbol 13-acetate 12-myristate is an activator of protein kinase C (PKC) and SphK. Phorbol 12 myristate 13 acetate is an NF - κ B activator. Phorbol 13-acetate 12-myristate can induce differentiation of THP-1 cells (which has been validated by MCE professional biological experiments).

The cardiac glycosides digitoxin and digoxin have been used in cardiac diseases for many years, digitoxin also has growth inhibition activity in three human cancer cell line, digitoxin activates pro-apoptotic, anti-proliferative signaling cascades and cell cycle arrest. Digitoxin could as a candidate drug for suppressing IL-8-dependent lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF), it can suppress hypersecretion of IL-8 from cultured cystic fibrosis (CF) lung epithelial cells, the specific mechanism is to block phosphorylation of the inhibitor of NF-kappa.Digitoxin actively inhibits Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication with a 50% effective concentration (EC(50)) of 0.05 microM, the inhibitory effects of digitoxin are likely to be introduced at the early stage of HSV-1 replication and the virus release stage. Digitoxin is a cardenolide glycoside in which the 3beta-hydroxy group of digitoxigenin carries a 2,6-dideoxy-beta-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(14)-2,6-dideoxy-beta-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(14)-2,6-dideoxy-beta-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl trisaccharide chain. It has a role as an EC 3.6.3.9 (Na(+)/K(+)-transporting ATPase) inhibitor. It is functionally related to a digitoxigenin. It is a conjugate acid of a digitoxin(1-).

Triptonide is a diterpene triepoxide that is triptobenzene K in which the acylhydroquinone moiety has undergone oxidation to the corresponding triepoxyketone derivative. It has been isolated from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent, an immunosuppressive agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a diterpene triepoxide, a cyclic ketone, a butenolide and an organic heteroheptacyclic compound. Triptonide is effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and has potent antileukemic and antitumor activities, it possesses anti-inflammatory activity, upregulate the expression of IL-37, and this expression was suppressed by ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK inhibitors.

Daurisoline is a hERG inhibitor and also an autophagy blocker.Daurisoline has antiarrhythmic effects, it( at concentrations below 30 uM) exerts a blocking effect on hERG, but does not affect the expression and function of the hERG channel, it also can inhibit early afterdepolarizations (EADs) which may be associated with its blockade effects on I(Ca-L). Daurisoline and its isomers show cytoprotective effects on ischemic injury in cultured pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells, which are mediated by blocking Ca2+ influx into cells.
