Anemarrhenasaponin I, a traditional Chinese medicine, shows remarkable inhibiting effect on platelet aggregation.

Marein has the neuroprotective effect due to a reduction of damage to mitochondria function and activation of the AMPK signal pathway. Marein improves insulin resistance induced by high glucose in HepG2 cells through CaMKK/AMPK/GLUT1 to promote glucose uptake, through IRS/Akt/GSK-3β to increase glycogen synthesis, and through Akt/FoxO1 to decrease gluconeogenesis. Marein is a HDAC inhibitor […]

Ovalbumin is a major glycoprotein found in egg whites, serving as a nutrient reserve for developing embryos and used in the food industry. It also induces a Th2 immune response in sensitized individuals, characterized by the production of cytokines like IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, leading to airway inflammation, hyper-responsiveness (AHR), and immune cell infiltration, key […]

Carboxyatractyloside (Gummiferin) tripotassium is a toxic natural product, acts as an inhibitor of ADP/ATP carrier, inhibits mitochondrial ADP/ATP transport from the inner mitochondria to the inner mitochondria. Carboxyatractyloside tripotassium can be used for the study of cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial biology.

Isocurcumenol, an estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) inhibitor isolated from Curcuma zedoaria Rhizomes, possesses anti-tumor acticity, with IC50 values of 99.1μg/mL and 178.2 μg/mL in DLA and KB cells, respectively.

Karanjin is an orally active furanoflavonoid which can be isolated from several Leguminosae. Karanjin exhibits evident anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticolitis, anti-ulcer, anti-Alzheimer properties and multiple insect repellent/insecticidal, acaricide properties, suggesting the potential of Karanjin to be applied to relevant research.

3,5-O-Dicaffeoylquinic acid reverses Trimethyltin-induced learning and memory deficits.

Eriocalyxin B is an ent-Kaurene diterpenoid isolated from Chinese herb Isodon eriocalyx. Eriocalyxin B has anti-cancer and anti-infammatory activities. Eriocalyxin B induces cell apoptosis.

Silybin is a flavonolignan isolated from milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seeds. Silybin induces apoptosis and exhibits hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer activity.

Asatone is an active component isolated from Radix et Rhizoma Asari, with anti-inflammatory effect via activation of NF-κB and donwn regulation of p-MAPK (ERK, JNK and p38) pathways.
