Braylin has anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and immunomodulatory effects, which possibly act through the glucocorticoid receptor activation and by inhibition of the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Braylin is also a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, it could represent an ideal prototype of glucocorticoid receptor ligand, able to induce synergic immunomodulatory effects.

Kazinol U may have therapeutic value in delaying pancreatic β-cell destruction in type 1 diabetes by blocking the NF-κB pathway in pancreatic β-cells reduces cell damage. Kazinol U shows estrogenic activity with ligand-activity of estrogen receptor, transcriptional activity of estrogen -responsive element-reporter genes, it may have beneficial effects in the treatment of menopausal symptoms.
(-)-Praeruptorin A has anti-inflammatory, anti-contractile and anti-hyperplasia activities, it exerts distinct relaxant effects on isolated rat aorta rings dependent on endothelium and nitric oxide synthesis;it also can significantly suppress airway inflammation and airway remodeling induced by ovalbumin challenge, and is a potential candidate for the treatment of asthma. (-)-Praeruptorin A resensitizes Pgp-mediated MDR (Pgp-MDR) cancer cells to cancer drugs.
Isotaxiresinol prevents d-GalN LPS-induced hepatic injury by inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis through the blocking of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma production by activated macrophages and direct inhibition of the apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha. Isotaxiresinol ma
