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.
Ganodermanondiol exhibits potent cytoprotective effects on t-BHP-induced hepatotoxicity in human liver-derived HepG2 cells, presumably through Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzymes and AMPK.
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
