Bacopaside II is a potential anti-angiogenic agent, it can reduce endothelial cell migration and tubulogenesis and induce apoptosis. Bacopaside II shows antioxidant and antidepressant activities, it can inhibit both basal activity as well as verapamil-stimulated ATPase activity, suggesting its affinity towards P-gp.

Escin IA is a prodrug and its structure can be converted to desacylescin I by human intestinal bacteria and Lactobacillus brevis., desacylescin I as a biotransformation product shows potentially inhibitory effects on mouse tumor, and a potential candidate for anti tumor agents. Escin IA has anti-TNBC metastasis activity, and its action mechanisms involved inhibition of EMT process by down-regulating LOXL2 expression.

Alisol B, a novel inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase pump, induces autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis.Alisol B may be a potential novel therapeutic molecule for bone disorders through targeting the differentiation of osteoclasts as well as their functions. Alisol B also inhibited RANKL-induced expression of NFATc1 and c-Fos, which are key transcription factors for osteoclastogenesis.
