Bakkenolide A has antifeedant and growth inhibitory effects on neonate variegated cutworms, it inhibits leukemia by regulation of HDAC3 and PI3K/Akt-related signaling pathways.
1-Hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethoxyxanthone (HM-1) has vasodilator action ,which involves both an endothelium-dependent mechanism involving NO and an endothelium-independent mechanism by inhibiting Ca(2+) influx through L-type voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels; a minor contribution to the effects of HM-1 may be related to inhibition of the protein kinase C-mediated release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. HM-1,at the concentration of 1 ug/mL, can effectively inhibit the osteoclast differentiation in a co-culture system with mouse osteoblastic calvarial cells and bone marrow cells; it also can protect mice from the acute lung injury induced by ipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is relative to the increasing of IκB-α protein expression and the suppressing of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-Ⅱ protein expression.
2-Methoxystypandrone displays an immunomodulatory effect in a cellular model, it blocks inflammatory responses by impairing NF-κB signaling to limit the inflammation and oxidative stress for preservation of BBB integrity. 2-Methoxystypandrone concomitant
7,8-Didehydrocimigenol can be used for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. It upregulates PPAR-γ in EC inhibits NF-kB activity of TNF-α-activated EC which leads to selective inhibition of VCAM-1 expression.
Bakkenolide IIIa has antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, it protects against cerebral damage by inhibiting AKT and ERK1/2 activation and inactivated NF-κB signaling.
Bisacurone has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-metastatic activities, it may have a protective effect against ethanol-induced liver injury by suppressing hepatic oxidation and inflammation.
Broussonins A and B, new phytoalexins from diseased paper mulberry. Broussonin A shows estrogenic activity with ligand-binding activity of estrogen receptor, transcriptional activity of estrogen-responsive element-luciferase reporter genes. Broussonin A c
Cearoin is a natural product exhibiting anticancer activity by inducing autophagy, ERK activation, and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells through ROS generation.
Chlojaponilactone B has anti-inflammatory activity, it exhibits pronounced inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.
Cudraflavone B has anti-proliferative activity, mouse brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory effects, apoptotic actions in human gastric carcinoma cells and mouse melanoma cells, and hepatoprotective activity. It may be a lead for the development of a potential candidate for human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.
Dehydroglyasperin C is a potent NAD(P)H:oxidoquinone reductase (NQO1) and phase 2 enzyme inducer. Dehydroglyasperin C possesses potent antioxidant, cancer chemopreventive, and neuroprotective activities, it has protective effects against chronic diseases
Isophysalin A exhibits anti-inflammatory activitiy, it exhibits conjugating abilities with glutathione and also shows significant nitric oxide (NO) production inhibiting activities.
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.
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.
