Isopimpinellin has chemopreventive effects, it effectively inhibits mouse COH activity (IC50 values 19-40 microM).Isopimpinellin is a new inhibitor against the Leishmania APRT enzyme.

Harpagide has neuroprotective effect, it can obviously protect acute cerebral ischemia in mice,its therapeutical effects are approached to protecting the activity of brain mitochondria and decreasing protein expression level of caspase-3; harpagide also has a potential for prevention of bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) mice by regulating the stimulation of osteoblast differentiation and the suppression of osteoclast formation. Harpagide may have anti-inflammatory efficacy.

Hypocrellin B has sonodynamic action to induce mitochondrial damage, survival inhibition, apoptosis and inhibit adhesion and migration of cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy with Hypocrellin B can remarkably induce apoptosis and inhibit adhesion and migration of cancer cells in vitro.

Hypocrellin A, an a natural perylene quinine photosensitizers (PSs), can chelate with heavy metal ions, including Au(III) and Pt(IV), to form a 1:2 complex. Hypocrellin A has light-induced antitumor,antifungal and antiviral activities, it also exerts immunomodulatory effects on MHC-restricted presentation of antigen.

Yadanziolide A shows strong antiviral activity.

Skimmin has anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities, it can significantly improve renal function and suppress the IgG deposition as well as the development of glomerular lesions in a rat model of membranous glomerulonephritis; it also can suppress diabetic nephropathy in rats effectively, and may slow down the renal fibrosis by regulating TGF-β1 signal pathway.

Licarin A and (-)-Licarin A are promising compounds that could be used for the development of schistosomicidal and trypanocidal agents; Licarin A presents effect against Leishmania (Leishmania) major associated with immunomodulation in vitro; (-)-Licarin A has antimycobacterial activity, represents a potentially active anti-tuberculosis agent to treat MDR M. tuberculosis and NTM strains.Licarin A significantly protects primary cultured neuronal cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, via antioxidative activities.

(-)-Guaiol is a biocatalyst. Guaiol has insecticidal activity.

Hellebrigenin is a steroid aldehyde, a steroid lactone, a 3beta-hydroxy steroid, a 14beta-hydroxy steroid, a 19-oxo steroid and a 5beta-hydroxy steroid. It has a role as an autophagy inducer, an antineoplastic agent, an apoptosis inducer, an antileishmanial agent, an animal metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is functionally related to a 5beta-bufanolide.

Drimenol is a sesquiterpenoid primary alcohol, being methanol in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 2,5,5,8a-tetramethyl-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydronaphthalen-1-yl group. It is a homoallylic alcohol, a member of octahydronaphthalenes, a primary alcohol and a sesquiterpenoid. It derives from a hydride of a drimane. Drimenol shows antifungal activity, it is able to affect Botrytis cinerea growth with the EC50 value of 80 ppm. Drimendiol also shows quorum sensing inhibition activity.

Hupehenine is a natural product from Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.

Thalifendine is a metabolite of Berberine, with antiplasmodial and antiamoebic activities. Thalifendine shows activities against P. falciparum and E. histolytica with IC50s of 7.91 μM and 116 μM, respectively. Thalifendine inhibited cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6.
