(+)-Geodin is a fungal metabolite. It increases the fibrinolytic activity of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) when used at concentrations ranging from 50 to 150 μM. (+)-Geodin (1-100 μg/ml) also increases 2-deoxyglucose uptake by rat adipocytes.
Bourgeonal is an agonist of human testicular olfactory receptor hOR17-4. It increases cytosolic calcium levels in human spermatozoa, acts as a chemoattractant, and increases swimming speed in sperm chemotaxis assays in a concentration-dependent manner.
Gageotetrin B exhibits potent antimicrobial activity, displaying greater inhibitory effects on fungi compared to bacteria, with an MIC ranging from 0.01-0.04 μM.
Sageone represents a promising anticancer agent against gastric cancer that warrants further study, it synergizes with cisplatin cytotoxicity in SNU-1 human gastric cancer cells.Sageone also shows antiviral activity.
