Cerebroside C is a fungal metabolite and glycosphingolipid that has been found in the rice pathogenic fungusM. grisea.1It induces production of the phytoalexin momilactone A when applied to wounded rice leaves, indicating that cerebroside C is an elicitor of the hypersensitive response in rice. Cerebroside C increases germination rate and reduces germination time in wheat seeds in a concentration-dependent manner at 4°C.2It also increases root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of wheat seedlings when used at a concentration of 20 μg/ml at 4°C, indicating increased chilling tolerance.

9(S),12(S),13(S)-TriHOME is a linoleic acid-derived oxylipin that has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4It has been found in various plants and is produced in human eosinophils in a 15-lipoxygenase-dependent, soluble epoxide hydrolase-independent manner.1,59(S),12(S)13(S)-TriHOME inhibits antigen-induced β-hexosaminidase release from RBL-2H3 mast cells (IC50= 28.7 μg/ml).2It inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in BV-2 microglia (IC50= 40.95 μM).3In vivo, 9(S),12(S),13(S)-TriHOME (1 g/animal) enhances the antiviral IgA and IgG antibody responses induced by a nasal influenza hemagglutinin (HA) vaccine by 5.2- and 2-fold, respectively, in mice.4

1,3-Dilinoleoyl-2-oleoyl-rac-glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains linoleic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid at the sn-2 position. It has been found in grape seed, pumpkin seed, soybean, sunflower, and wheat germ oils, with the highest content in grape seed oil.
Tagitinin A (肿柄菊内酯 A)是一种天然的倍半萜内酯化合物,作为过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α/γ(PPARα/PPARγ)的双重激动剂,在糖尿病研究中发挥抗高血糖和抗高血脂作用。Tagitinin A 能够直接结合PPARγ配体结合域(IC50=55 μM),也能刺激PPARα依赖性SULT2A1基因启动子的转录激活。作为植物毒素时Tagitinin A对小麦胚芽鞘的生长有显著的抑制作用。
