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
Corydine is the adrenolytic and weak cholinergic agent, it shows antimicrobial, and antineoplastic activities. Corydine shows irritant and respiratory stimulant and CNS depressant activities. Injected intravenously in rabbits corydine produced an initial
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
