Aconitine is a diterpenoid that is 20-ethyl-3alpha,13,15alpha-trihydroxy-1alpha,6alpha,16beta-trimethoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)aconitane-8,14alpha-diol having acetate and benzoate groups at the 8- and 14-positions respectively. It is functionally related to an aconitane. Aconitine, one of the major Aconitum alkaloids, is a highly toxic compound from the Aconitum species, it appears to exert a long-lasting cholinergic action in the causation of severe arrhythmias leading to death.

Peimine has good anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, it inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS through blocking MAPKs and NF-κB signaling pathways. It also has antitussive and sedative actions, the action being suspected to be central in nature.

Hydrastine is a natural product found in Hydrastis canadensis. It has a role as a metabolite.

6-Prenylnaringenin is an isomer of the potent phytoestrogen, 8-prenylnaringenin. It exhibits both mixed and non-competitive inhibitory characteristics against tyrosinase, tyrosinase is the rate-limiting enzyme for the production of melanin and other pigments via the oxidation of l-tyrosine. 6-Prenylnaringenin has anti-cancer potential , dose-dependent reduction of cellular proliferation of human PC-3 prostate cancer and UO.31 renal carcinoma cells upon treatment. 6-Prenylnaringenin can inhibit 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation (1μg/ear) in mice, it also exhibits inhibitory effects on skin-tumor promotion in anin vivo two-stagemouse-skin carcinogenesis test based on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]- anthracene (DMBA) as initiator and with TPA as promoter. 6-prenylnaringenin is a trihydroxyflavanone having a structure of naringenin prenylated at C-6. It has a role as a T-type calcium channel blocker. It is a member of 4'-hydroxyflavanones, a (2S)-flavan-4-one and a trihydroxyflavanone. It is functionally related to a (S)-naringenin.

Inulicin is a terpene lactone.

Patchouli alcohol has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, gastroprotective, immunomodulatory, and antibacterial effects, which may be mediated, at least in part, by down-regulation of the mRNA expression of a panel of inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and COX-2. Patchouli alcohol significantly accelerates the recovery of the UV-induced skin lesions, evidently through anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory action, as well as down-regulation of the MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression. Patchouli alcohol is a carbotricyclic compound and sesquiterpenoid tertiary alcohol that is tricyclo[5.3.1.03,8]undecan-3-ol which is substituted at positions 2, 2, 6 and 8 by methyl groups (the 1R,3R,6S,7S,8S-diastereoisomer). It is a sesquiterpenoid, a tertiary alcohol and a carbotricyclic compound.

Stigmasterol is used as a precursor in the manufacture of synthetic progesterone, it is an antagonist of the bile acid nuclear receptor FXR, which has anti-inflammatory, thyroid inhibitory, cholesterol-lowering, antiperoxidative and hypoglycemic effects; it has indicated that stigmasterol may be useful in prevention of certain cancers, including ovarian, prostate, breast, and colon cancers. Stigmasterol inhibits the NF-kappaB pathway. Stigmasterol is a 3beta-sterol that consists of 3beta-hydroxystigmastane having double bonds at the 5,6- and 22,23-positions. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a stigmastane sterol, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid, a member of phytosterols and a 3beta-sterol. It derives from a hydride of a stigmastane.

Liquiritin apioside has antioxidant property by inducing glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis via the inhibition of cytokines and protected lung epithelial cells against cigarette smoke-mediated oxidative stress, might be as protective agent against epithelial injury in COPD. Liquiritin apioside is a glycoside and a member of flavonoids.

6-hydroxyflavanone is a monohydroxyflavanone that is flavanone substituted by a hydroxy group at position 6. It has a role as a fungal xenobiotic metabolite. 6-Methoxyflavanone shows significant immunomodulatory potential.

Darutigenol has obvious antithrombotic effect,its mechanism may be related to inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion.
