Odorine and odorinol inhibit both the initiation and promotion stages of two-stage skin carcinogenesis. (+)-Odorinol exhibits strong antiviral activity against Ranikhet disease virus (RVD) in chick embryo.
Eichlerialactone and ethyl eichlerianoate show antimycobacterial activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, with minimum inhibitory concentration in the range of 25-50ug/mL; eichlerialactone exhibits good antibacterial activity against both the Gr
Dipterocarpol is a dammarane-type triterpenoid, as are the major bioactive compounds of ginseng. Dipterocarpol A shows moderate acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of 8.28 uM.
Odorine has potent anti-carcinogenic effect by inhibiting both the initiation and promotion stages of two-stage skin carcinogenesis. It was found to inhibit the growth of the vinblastine-resistant KB cells by enhancing the anticancer activity of vinblastine.
5,6-Desmethylenedioxy-5-methoxyaglalactone is cytotoxic to small cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) cell line. It has antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Ra.
Desmethylrocaglamide is a novel inducer of cellular differentiation using HL-60 promyelocytic cells, it may be a drug for the prevention and therapy of cancer. It also has insecticidal activity.
Rocaglaol is a potent anticancer drug that induces apoptosis of LNCaP cells through the mitochondrial pathway and its G2 M-phase cell cycle arrest is associated with the down-regulation of Cdc25C and the dephosphorylation of Cdc2. Rocaglaol can reduce tis
Aglinin A displays moderate cytotoxicity against all the three cancer cell lines((NCI-H187), epidermoid carcinoma (KB) and breast cancer (BC) cell lines).
Cabralealactone displays antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is weakly cytotoxic to a breast cancer (BC) cell line, it is moderately active against a small-cell lung cancer (NCI-H187) cell line.
Cabraleahydroxylactone displays antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it is weakly cytotoxic to a breast cancer (BC) cell line.It shows antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type-1 with an IC50 value of 3.20 ug mL, in comparison with the standard acyclovir (IC50=1.90ug mL).
