Albaspidin AA displays strong antibacterial activity against the vegetative form of P. larvae (MIC ranging from 0.168-220 uM). It may have in vitro nematocidal activity against L4 stage larvae.
Lycorenine may produce a decrease in blood pressure as the result of alpha-adrenergic blockade in conjunction with the reduction of the spontaneous sympathetic nerve activity, and produce bradycardia by modifying vagal activity. The development of tachyph
Arjunic acid is a strong antioxidant and a free radical scavenger. Arjunic acid shows activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with MIC values ranging between 1.9 and 15.6 microg/mL.
1,7-Dihydroxy-2,3-methylenedioxyxanthone exhibits antiulcerogenic, anti-oxidation, and antihyperalgesic activities and can inhibit carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia.
Haplopine shows photo-activated antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. It exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities with almost no toxicity to the cells.
Inhalation challenge with capsaicin and rapid intravenous injection of Lobelin and alinamin indicated that peripheral c-fiber receptors were involved in the induction of coughing.
Sideroxylin can synergistically enhance the antimicrobial activity of the alkaloid berberine (also a constituent of H. canadensis) against Staphylococcus aureus by inhibition of the NorA multidrug resistance pump.
Thunberginol C exhibits antimicrobial activity against oral bacteria. It shows antiallergic activity in the in vitro bioassay using the Schults-Dale reaction in sensitized guinea pig bronchial muscle.
1-Methoxyphaseollidin exhibits anti-Helicobacter pylori activity against the CLAR and AMOX-resistant strain as well as four CLAR (AMOX)-sensitive strains. 1-Methoxyphaseollidin may show moderate cytotoxic activity against KB and L1210 cells. 1-Methoxyphaseollidin also shows inhibition of lysoPAF acetyltransferase activity.
3,3'-Di-O-methylellagic acid reveals moderate antibacterial activity, it also shows strong DPPH radical scavenging activities with SC50 of 123.3 ug/mL. It has a lower capacity of stimulating murine peritoneal macrophages to release nitric oxide and tumoural-alpha necrose factor
6,8-Diprenylorobol possesses weaker anti-H. pylori activity, it may be a useful chemopreventive agent for peptic ulcer or gastric cancer in H. pylori-infected individuals.
