Wallichinine shows inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation caused by platelet activating factor (PAF). Wallichinine with ABCB1 presents valuable clues for the development of novel MDR reversal reagents from natural products, wallichinine can significa
Flavokawain C is a melanogenesis inhibitor, it inhibited melanogenesis with IC50 values of 6.9 μM. Flavokawain C has anti-tumor activity, it inhibited cell cycle and promoted apoptosis, associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and regulation of MAPKs and Akt signaling pathways in HCT 116 human colon carcinoma cells.
Futoenone and a series of its derivatives have shown inhibitory activities against matrix metalloproteinases, the molecular modelings of these compounds indicate the preferred binding of the P2' site of the enzymes. Neolignan derivative compounds of the 2,4-diaryl-1,3-dithiolane and futoenone variety exhibit both platelet activating factor receptor(PAF)and 5-lipoxygenase antagonist activity.
Piperolactam C possesses anti-platelet aggregation activity in vitro. It can inhibit the growth of the fungi Cladosporium sphaerospermum and C. cladosporioides.
Futokadsurin C can inhibit nitric oxide production by a murine macrophage-like cell line (RAW 264.7), which is activated by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma.
Nervogenic acid has antioxidative, pro-coagulant, and antibacterial activities, it exhibits higher activity than that of t-butyl-4- hydroxyanisole (BHA) using the ferric thiocyanate method.
Icariside F2 shows modest α-glucosidase inhibitory (4.60±1.74% to 11.97±3.30%) and antioxidant activities. It also displays potent NF-κB inhibitory effects, with the IC50 value of 16.25 ± 2.19 uM.
