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.

Dehydroevodiamine has anticholinesterase activity and an anti-amnesic effect, it also may be a novel and effective ligand for improvement of beta-amyloid type amnesia. Dehydroevodiamine has antiarrhythmic, and anti-inflammatory properties, the effect of dehydroevodiamine-mediated inhibition of the expression LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 genes is due to under the suppression of NF-kappaB activation in the transcriptional level.

Oxypeucedanin is a kind of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel and it prolongs the APD, it is an excellent candidate as an antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.Oxypeucedanin has novel anticancer effect, mediated via induction of G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. Oxypeucedanin is a furanocoumarin that is 7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one substituted by a [(2S)-3,3-dimethyloxiran-2-yl]methoxy group at position 4. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a furanocoumarin, a lactone and an epoxide.

Corypalmine (IC50=128.0±10.5 uM) can inhibit prolyl oligopeptidase. (-)-Corypalmine shows inhibition activity against spore germination of some fungi.

Magnocurarine is a natural product from Magnolia officinalis.

Benzoylhypaconine is a diterpene alkaloid with formula C31H43NO9 that is isolated from several Aconitum species. It has a role as a xenobiotic, a phytotoxin, a plant metabolite, a human urinary metabolite and a rat metabolite. It is a diterpene alkaloid, a tertiary alcohol, a triol, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, a benzoate ester, an organic heteropolycyclic compound, a polyether and a tertiary amino compound. It derives from a hydride of an aconitane.

Chasmanine is a diterpene alkaloid with formula C25H41NO6 that is isolated from several Aconitum species. It has a role as an antifeedant and a plant metabolite. It is a diol, a diterpene alkaloid, a tertiary alcohol, a secondary alcohol, a bridged compound, an organic heteropolycyclic compound, a polyether and a tertiary amino compound. It derives from a hydride of an aconitane. Chasmanine, hypaconitine, and deoxyaconitine are anti-inflammatory pharmacodynamic components in Heishunpian (HSP) with positive relations with HSP efficacy. Chasmanine has insecticidal activities against larvae of Bradysia odoriphaga Yan et Zhang.

Talatisamine is a newly identified K+ channel blocker with hypotensive and antiarrhythmic activities. Talatisamine (120 μM) and TEA (5mM) inhibits the enhanced I(K) caused by Aβ40 oligomers, attenuates cytotoxicity of Aβ oligomers by restoring cell viability and suppressing K(+) loss related apoptotic response.

Digoxin is a cardenolide glycoside that is digitoxin beta-hydroxylated at C-12. A cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata, it is used to control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation, but the margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. It has a role as an anti-arrhythmia drug, a cardiotonic drug, an epitope and an EC 3.6.3.9 (Na(+)/K(+)-transporting ATPase) inhibitor. Digoxin is a classical Na,K-ATPase inhibitor, with selectivity for the α2β3 isoform over the common α1β1 isoform, used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides can inhibit hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)α synthesis and block tumor growth.

Fuziline shows significant insecticidal activity against Nilaparvata legen and Aphis medicagini. Fuziline shows activity against pentobarbital sodiuminduced cardiomyocytes damage by obviously recovering beating rhythm and increasing the cell viability. Fuziline is a diterpene alkaloid. It is functionally related to an aconitane.

Lappaconitine hydrobromide, a diterpene alkaloid, is a drug for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, it is a selective blocker of the TTX-sensitive Na+ channels, and does not influence on the activation threshold of Na+ channels. Lappaconitine hydrobromide can be used for local anesthesia, and analgesic treatment. Lappaconitine hydrobromide has anti-inflammatory effects, it can remove inflammation and swelling, lower temperature and relieve heat.

Evocarpine shows antimycobacterial, and vasorelaxant effects, it can inhibit Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels.

Indaconitine is a natural product from Aconitum hemsleyanum PRITZ.

Hypaconitine, an active and highly toxic constituent derived from Aconitum species, has anti-inflammatory activity, is widely used to treat rheumatism. It produced neuromuscular blockade by reducing the evoked quantal release, the mechanism of this effect was attributed mainly to blocking of the nerve compound action potential.
