Latifolin is a strong DPPH-scavenger, it attenuates inflammatory responses by inhibiting NF-κB activation via Nrf2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 expression. Latifolin displays potent anticarcinogenic phase II marker enzyme, quinone reductase (QR) inducing activity and high chemopreventive indices. Latifolin also shows antifungal activity against white- and brown-rot fungi.
Bonducellpin D may show inhibitory activities on the Para3 virus. It also exhibits moderate activity against four tested human cancer cell lines, HepG-2, K562, HeLa, and Du145.
Globulol shows antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas vesicatoria and Bacillus subtilis, the IC50 value of 158.0 microg mLand 737.2 microg mL, respectively.
Horminone has antimicrobial activity, it can inhibit the protein synthesis in several types of bacteria; it can inhibit the in vitro growth of Trypanosoma cruzi, 30 microM drug concentration producing total inhibition of growth. After administration of plant extracts containing Horminone has possibility of toxic effect.
Communic acid has antibacterial activity, including against mycobacterial. trans-Communic acid has potential to be utilized as anti-wrinkling agents and cosmetic ingredients, as they suppress UVB-induced MMP-1 expression.
Physalin H is an Hh signaling inhibitor blocks GLI1-DNA-complex formation, it also strong quinone reductase induction activity with IR (Induction ratio, QR induction activity) value of 3.74±0.02. Physalin H shows immunosuppressive effects on T cells both
Artanin displays promising inhibition against both MSSA and MRSA with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 8-64 ug ml, but very weak against Gram-negative pathogen and yeast with MICs of 256 to ≥1024 ug ml.
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.
Platycoside A has hemolytic activity and adjuvant potential on the immune responses to Newcastle disease virus-based recombinant avian influenza vaccine. It induces the IgG and IgG1 antibody responses in the immunized mice.
Atalantoflavone shows urease inhibitory potential. It displays weak cytotoxic activity against the human Caucasian prostate adenocarcinoma cell line PC-3.
