Gliovirin is a fungal metabolite that has been found inT. harzianumand has fungicidal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.1It is active against the plant pathogenic fungusP. ultimum(MIC = 60 ng/ml) and the parasiteT. brucei brucei(IC50= 90 ng/ml), but has no effect on the plant pathogenic fungiR. solani,P. omnivorum,T. basicola,R. arrhizus, andV. dahliaeor the bacteriaB. thuringiensis,P. fluorescens, andX. malvacearumwhen used at concentrations up to 1,000 ng/ml.2,3Gliovirin decreases phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA)- and ionomycin-induced increased expression of COX-2 (IC50= 1 μM) and protein levels of IL-2 in Jurkat cells (IC50= 5.2 μM).1

Norsanguinarine has antifungal activity, it exhibits 100 % inhibition of A. brassicicola and C. maculans at 1000 ppm whereas. It shows significant cytotoxic activities (ED (50) values < 4 microg/ml) against P-388, KB16, A549, and HT-29 cell lines.
Wulignan A1 exhibits activity against leukemia P-388 in vitro; it also may have anti-influenza virus H1N1 and H1N1-TR (a Tamiflu drug resistant virus strain) activities.
8-Prenyldaidzein has cytotoxic properties against P-388 cells, its IC 50 values 5.82 ug/mL, it also exhibits very high antioxidant activity against DPPH radical scavenging.
Aristolactam BIII possesses anti-platelet aggregation activity in vitro, it also shows significant cytotoxic activity (IC50 values < 4 microg/mL) against P-388, HT-29 and A549 cell lines in vitro.
Coronalolide shows significant cytotoxic activities in P-388 cell line, it also displays significant anti-HIV activities in the HIV-1RT assay. Coronalolide and coronalolide methyl ester show broad cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell li
Desoxo-narchinol A exhibits protective effects against LPS-induced endotoxin shock and inflammation through p38 deactivation, it shows inhibitory activity against LPS-induced NO production. Desoxo-narchinol A shows cytotoxic activity against P-388 cells.
5,7,3',5'-tetrahydroxy-6,4'-dimethoxyflavone exhibits anti-HIV-1 activity in the anti-syncytium assay using (∆Tat/rev)MC99 virus and 1A2 cell line system, it shows considerably activity against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. It exhibits cytotoxic activity against P-388 cell lines, it can inhibit DNA topoisomerase IIα activity, which may be responsible for the observed cytotoxicity.
