Nardoaristolone B, a nor-sesquiterpenoid with an unusual fused ring system and having protective effects on the injury of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. The novel mosquito-repellentsynthetic hydrindanesbased on noreremophilanes and nardoaristolone B which show increasedactivity against adult females of Aedes aegypti.

Methylophiopogonone B is a homoisoflavonoid that is 4H-1-benzopyran-4-one substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 5 and 7, methyl groups at positions 6 and 8 and a (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl group at position 3 respectively. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a monomethoxybenzene, a member of resorcinols and a homoisoflavonoid. Methylophiopogonone B is a natural product from Ophiopogon japonicus.

Denudatine has effects on action potential of ventricular fibers and has inhibition on arrhythmogenic action of aconitine.

Cyclovirobuxine D(CVB-D) has vasorelaxant effect, it has been widely used for treatment of cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmias in China, the antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic potential of this drug might be concerned with prolongation of action potential duration and QT interval. CVB-D can induce autophagy in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line by attenuating the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR , CVB-D-induced autophagy and decrease in cell viability could be blocked by 3-methyladenine, a well-established autophagy inhibitor.

Dauricine may has neuroprotective, and anti-tumor effects, it can pass the blood‑brain barrier, and that P‑glycoprotein has an important role in the transportation of Dauricine across the blood‑brain barrier, it can inhibit tumor cells in urinary system and colon cancer cell proliferation, invasion; induce cell apoptosis by suppressing NF-kappaB activity and the expression profile of its downstream genes. Dauricine also has pulmonary toxicity, can produce pulmonary injury in CD-1 mice by the metabolism of Dauricine mediated by CYP3A. Dauricine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid resulting from the formal oxidative dimerisation of 4-{[(1R)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl]methyl}phenol by attachment of the phenolic oxygen of one molecule to the benzene ring of the second (ortho to the phenolic hydroxy group of the latter). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, a member of isoquinolines, a member of phenols, an aromatic ether and a tertiary amino compound.
