Lutein and lycopene has chemopreventive activity, the possible mechanism is their antioxidant effects. Nutritional supplementation with lutein or lutein together with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, improves visual function and symptoms in atrophic age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Lutein is a carotenol. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a food colouring. It derives from a hydride of a (6'R)-beta,epsilon-carotene.

Crocin is a water-soluble carotenoid pigment of saffron (Crocus sativus L.), it has been used as a spice for flavoring and coloring food preparations. Crocin has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-asthma, anti-cancer, and hypolipidemic effects. Crocin improves toxic effects of diazinon via reducing lipid peroxidation and restoring altered contractile and relaxant responses in rat aorta; it also protects retinal photoreceptors against light-induced cell death. Crocin can also promote ovarian cancer HO-8910 cell apoptosis, most likely by increasing p53 and Fas/APO-1 expression, and then activating the apoptotic pathway regulated by Caspase-3. Bis(beta-D-glucosyl) crocetin is a diester resulting from the formal condensation of each of the carboxylic acid groups of crocetin with an anomeric hydroxy group of beta-D-glucopyranose. It is a beta-D-glucoside and a diester. It is functionally related to a beta-D-glucose and a crocetin.

Pelargonidin chloride shows protective effect against CTN-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells and up-regulated the activity of detoxification enzyme levels through Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. It also has the antianaphylactic properties, which might be related to the increase of both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP through the inhibition of phosphodiesterase. Pelargonidin chloride has strong antioxidative activity in a liposomal system and reduced the formation of malondialdehyde by UVB irradiation. Pelargonidin chloride is an anthocyanidin chloride that has pelargonidin as the cationic counterpart. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a phytoestrogen. It contains a pelargonidin.

Aristololactam, the main metabolite of aristolochic acid , it can lead to renal damage, the cytotoxic potency of Aristololactam is higher than that of aristolochic acid and that the cytotoxic effects of these molecules are mediated through the induction of apoptosis in a caspase 3-dependent pathway.

Ginkgolide C is a potent inhibitor of collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation, it may increase intracellular cAMP and cGMP production and MMP-9 activity, inhibit intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and TXA(2) production. Ginkgolide C has anti-adipogenic and ameliorating Alzheimer disease effects; it also can increase△LVP significantly,enhances the myocardial systolic and diastolic function of rats,but has no significant effect on HR while it shows inotropic activity.

Soyasaponin I is a triterpenoid saponin that is composed of soyasapogenol B having an alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-beta-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid moiety attached at the 3-position via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a sialyltransferase inhibitor. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a triterpenoid saponin, a carbohydrate acid derivative and a trisaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a soyasapogenol B. Soyasaponin Bb can suppress Eca-9706 cell growth, reverse effects on over expression of c-met, VEGF, and induce cell apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1-NF-kappaB and activating PETEN and caspase-3 signaling pathways.

6-Hydroxykaempferol is a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase compared to L-DOPA, it shows also high antioxidant activities.

Soyasaponins(Aa, Ab, Af, Ba, Bb, and Bb') together with their derivatives may represent viable candidates for effective vaccine adjuvants due to their higher and lower or non-haemolytic effects.Soyasaponins Ab and Bb prevent scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice without the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.

Eriodictyol has vasodilator, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, it is an antagonist of the transient potential vanilloid 1 receptor (TRPV1) receptor. Eriodictyol may possess antidiabetic properties through increasing glucose uptake and improving insulin resistance, it attenuates the degree of retinal inflammation and plasma lipid peroxidation preserving the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) in early diabetic rats. It may be a potential therapeutic resource for Atopic dermatitis and an adjunctive agent to control itchiness inAtopic dermatitis.

EGCG Octaacetate is a catechin.

Aristolochic acid A is an aristolochic acid that is phenanthrene-1-carboxylic acid that is substituted by a methylenedioxy group at the 3,4 positions, by a methoxy group at position 8, and by a nitro group at position 10. It is the most abundant of the aristolochic acids and is found in almost all Aristolochia (birthworts or pipevines) species. It has been tried in a number of treatments for inflammatory disorders, mainly in Chinese and folk medicine. Aristolochic acid A (Aristolochic acid I; TR 1736) is the main component of plant extracts Aristolochic acids, which are present in Aristolochia and Asarum herbaceous plants. Aristolochic acid A significantly reduces the activity of activator protein 1 (AP-1) and NF - κ B. Aristolochic acid A reduces the expression of bladder cancer related BLCAP gene in human cells.

Aristolochic acid B is an aristolochic acid that is phenanthrene-1-carboxylic acid substituted by a methylenedioxy group at the 3,4 positions and by a nitro group at position 10. It has a role as a metabolite, a mutagen, a carcinogenic agent and a nephrotoxin. It is a member of aristolochic acids, a monocarboxylic acid, an aromatic ether, a C-nitro compound, an organic heterotetracyclic compound and a cyclic acetal. Aristolochic acid B, one of the major components of the carcinogenic plant extract aristolochic acid, is known to be mutagenic and to form DNA adducts in vitro and in vivo, AAII shows more carcinogenic risk than aristolochic acid I, and this may be, at least partly, the result of its increased levels in kidney and plasma. Aristolochic acid B is an orally active major component of aristolochic acid (AA). Aristolochic acid B can be isolated from plants of the Aristolochia genus. Aristolochic acid B can form DNA adducts. Aristolochic acid B has mutagenicity. Aristolochic acid B exhibits a greater carcinogenic risk in vivo than Aristolochic acid I (HY-N0510).
