Indaconitine is a natural product from Aconitum hemsleyanum PRITZ.

Afzelin has several cellular activities such as DNA-protective, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory as well as UV-absorbing activity and may protect human skin from UVB-induced damage by a combination of UV-absorbing and cellular activities. Afzelin has potenial anti-cancer activity against prostate cancer, the activity is due to inhibition of LIM domain kinase 021 expression, it can inhibit the proliferation of LNCaP and PC302cells, and block the cell cycle in the G002phase. Afzelin can attenuate asthma phenotypes is based on reduction of Th2 cytokine via inhibition of GATA-binding protein 3 transcription factor, which is the master regulator of Th2 cytokine differentiation and production. Afzelin is a glycosyloxyflavone that is kaempferol attached to an alpha-L-rhamnosyl residue at position 3 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as an antibacterial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a trihydroxyflavone, a glycosyloxyflavone and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a kaempferol. It is a conjugate acid of an afzelin(1-).

Mesaconitine has antinociceptive activity, has inhibition of stimulus-triggered and spontaneous epileptiform activity in rat hippocampal slices. It has antiinflammatory activity, it induced Ca2+ influx and activation of nitric-oxide synthase in endothelial cells and, thus, induced vasorelaxation in rat aorta.

Yunaconitine is a diterpene alkaloid with formula C35H49NO11 that is isolated from several Aconitum species. It has a role as an antifeedant, a xenobiotic, a phytotoxin, a plant metabolite and a human urinary metabolite. It is a diterpene alkaloid, a tertiary alcohol, an aromatic ether, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, a benzoate ester, an organic heteropolycyclic compound, a polyether, an acetate ester and a tertiary amino compound. It derives from a hydride of an aconitane. Yunaconitine has anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. It can increase serum total complement as well as the phag-ocytic activity of reticuloendothelial system in mice, these effects are considered to be beneficial in the clearance of pathogenic antigens, and may be the immunopharmacological basis of antiinflammatory actions of yunaconitine.

Beiwutine is a benzoate ester.

Ricinine exhibits hepatoprotection in CCl4 -induced liver damage. Ricinine is a nitrile, a pyridine alkaloid and a pyridone.
