Aloe-emodin-8-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside shows moderate bioactivity against human Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (hPTP1B) in vitro. Aloe-emodin-8-O - β - D-glucopyranoside is a compound isolated from Saussurea lappa and is a mild inhibitor of human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (hPTP1B) with an IC50 value of 26.6 μ M.

Uralenol significantly shows the inhibitory activities against the PTP1B enzyme; it also shows inhibitory activities on mushroom tyrosinase using l-tyrosine as substrate（IC50 =49.5 uM). Uralenol shows potent anti-proliferation effects on ER-positive breast cancer MCF-7 cells in vitro.

6'-O-galloylalbiflorin is a monoterpene glycoside that is albiflorin carrying a galloyl substituent at position 6. Isolated from the roots of Paeonia lactiflora. It has a role as an androgen antagonist, an antineoplastic agent and a plant metabolite. It is a beta-D-glucoside, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, a gallate ester, a gamma-lactone and a monoterpene glycoside. It is functionally related to an albiflorin.
