Alpha-Boswellic acid is a triterpenoid. alpha-Boswellic acid (α-BA)has gastroprotective properties by decreasing oxidative stress and the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. α-BA also has protective effects against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity in Balb/ cA mice.α-BA could be considered as a potent therapeutic agent for prevention and decreasing the progression of Alzheimer’s hallmarks, it can efficiently reduce hyperphosphorylated Tau (Ser404) in STZ-treated astrocytes and decrease ROS generation and promote proliferation of astrocytes through elevating Survivin expression. Alpha Boswellic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound with oral activity that can be extracted from frankincense. Alpha Boswellic acid has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. Alpha Boswellic acid can be used for research on Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Ganoderenic acid A has a potent hepatoprotective, and cytotoxic effects, it shows inhibitory activity on human aldose reductase in vitro.

Praeruptorin B has significant important phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGTs) isoforms inhibition activity. Praeruptorin B and praeruptorin A have LC 50 values of 34.5 and121.2 ug/ml, respectively, in Artemia salina test .

Chikusetsusaponin IVa is a novel AMPK activator, can induce insulin secretion from βTC3 cells via GPR40 mediated calcium and PKC pathways, may be developed into a new potential for therapeutic agent used in T2DM patients.Chikusetsusaponin IVa exerts antithrombotic effects, including minor hemorrhagic events. Chikusetsusaponin-IVa is a triterpenoid saponin. It has a role as a metabolite.

Geniposidic acid is an effective anticancer and radioprotection agent, used to treat inflammation, jaundice and hepatic disorders. It has anti-atherosclerotic effects, can protect vascular endothelium and reverse plaque formation in an atherosclerotic model. Geniposidic acid has effects on the expression of MRP2 and BSEP in BRL-3A cells after FXR gene silencing mediated by si RNA.

8-Epidiosbulbin E acetate exhibits broad-spectrum plasmid-curing activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, including vancomycin-resistant enterococci. It also exhibits time-and dose-dependent liver injury in mice. 8-Epidiosbulbin E acetate is an organic heterotricyclic compound and an organooxygen compound.

Gastrodin has antioxidant, cytoprotective, anticonvulsant, and anti-inflammation activities, it may be useful in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Gastrodin also has protective effect to the prevention of neurotoxicity induced by ischemic stroke, the mechanism is by improving anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation activities, inhibiting apoptosis pathway, and increasing Akt phosphorylation and Nrf2 expression. Gastrodin activates PI3-K/Akt signaling and that inhibition of this pathway reverses the inhibitory effects of gastrodin on NF-κB and MAPKs activation in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.

Ranaconitine has cardiotoxicity.

Delsoline has hypotensive effects.Delsoline is not only effective in preventing ventricular fibrillation and arrythmia, but can raise the intebsity of the threthold of electrical shocks to cause ventricular fibrillation in rabbits, the antiarrythmic effect of it may be mainly attributed to itsganglionic blocking and negative cardiac inotropic effect.

Polygalaxanthone III can significantly inhibit chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation catalyzed by CYP2E1.

Kaempferol 7-O-rhamnoside is a natural product from Maytenus hookeri.

Macranthoidin A, found in the herbs of Lonicera japonica Thunb., has anti-inflammation activity.
