Conocarpan has antinociceptive effects. Conocarpan is quite active against S. aureus and B. subtilis with MIC of 6.25 micrograms/ml, it also shows activity against M. tuberculosis (MIC=15.6 ug/ml). Conocarpan shows considerable activity against epimastigo
Physalin D shows antimalarial activity; it also exhibits a minimum inhibitory concentration value (MIC) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv strain of 32 microg/mL. Physalin D displays considerable cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. It
Tilifodiolide exerts in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and in vivo antinociceptive effects. Tilifodiolide exerted antidiarrheal activity by decreasing the intestinal fluid accumulation and vasorelaxant effects mediated by nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate, it also showed anxiolytic and antidepressant effects by the partial involvement of gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors and the possible participation of α2-adrenoreceptors, respectively.
Taxiresinol shows anticancer, antinociceptive, and antiallergic activities, it shows inhibitory activity on induced histamine release from the human basophilic cell line, KU812. Taxiresinol can protect the hepatocytes from apoptosis via an inhibition of TNF- alpha production by activated macrophages and a direct inhibition of apoptosis induced by TNF- alpha in D-GalN/LPS-treated mice.
Braylin has anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and immunomodulatory effects, which possibly act through the glucocorticoid receptor activation and by inhibition of the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Braylin is also a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, it could represent an ideal prototype of glucocorticoid receptor ligand, able to induce synergic immunomodulatory effects.
