Trachelogenin has antiproliferative effect, the mechanism is related to affect the phosphorylation of key proteins such as β-Catenin, c-Myc and GSK3 in the β-Catenin signaling pathway in a concentration-dependent manner.

Mulberroside C shows weak activity (IC 50 =75.4 μg/ml) against herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV-1).

Dehydrojuncusol, a new inhibitor of hepatitis C virus RNA replication, it inhibits infection of different HCV genotypes by targeting the NS5A protein and is active against resistant HCV variants frequently found in patients with treatment failure.

Saikosaponin b2 is a saikosaponin.

Ladanein is a dimethoxyflavone that is scutellarein in which the hydroxy groups at positions 4' and 7 are replaced by methoxy groups. It is an effective anti-HCV agent. It has a role as an antiviral agent, a radical scavenger and a plant metabolite. It is a dimethoxyflavone and a dihydroxyflavone. It is functionally related to a scutellarein. Ladanein is a phytochemicals inhibitor that is known to disrupt the interactions of core and other hepatitis C virus (HCV) proteins.Ladanein possesses free radicals DPPH and ABTS +.scavenging activity, it also displays moderate (20-40 microM) activities against K562, K562R (imatinib-resistant), and 697 human leukemia cell lines.

Platycodin D3 is a NF-κB inhibitor, it could as expectorants in diverse inflammatory pulmonary diseases, it can regulate the production and secretion of airway mucin; it can significantly enhance mitogen- and OVA-induced splenocyte proliferation in the OVA-immunized mice. Platycodin D3 also exerts anti-Hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity.

Sennidin B stimulates glucose incorporation in rat adipocytes.

Saikosaponin C exhibits anti-HBV activity, it has the potential for therapeutic angiogenesis but is not suitable for cancer therapy, it also might be a novel therapeutic tool for treating human AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. It inhibited caspase-3 activation and caspase-3-mediated-FAK degradation, induced matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)、vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 、the p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, ERK). Saikosaponin C is a member of the class of saikosaponins that is saikogenin E substituted by a 6-deoxy-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl-(14)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(16)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl group at position 3beta. It is a natural product isolated from the traditional Chinese herb, Radix Bupleuri and exhibits anti-HBV replication activity. It has a role as an anti-HBV agent and a plant metabolite.

Sennidin A, has two hydroxyanthraquinone-like moieties, exerts inhibition on NS3 helicase with IC50 values of 0.8 uM. Sennidin A in combination with necrosis inducing drugs/therapies may generate synergetic tumoricidal effects on solid malignancies by means of primary debulking and secondary cleansing process. It stimulates glucose incorporation in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)- and Akt-dependent in rat adipocytes, but in the IR/IRS1-independent manner.
