Hydroxy-Epsilon-Sanshool is an alkyl amide isolated from Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Hydroxy-Epsilon-Sanshool produces key tingling and numbing chemosensation.
Sanshool is a natural product isolated from Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Sanshool improves UVB-induced skin photodamage by targeting JAK2/STAT3-dependent autophagy.
Collinin is a coumarin that has been found in Z. schinifolium and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It is active against drug-susceptible and -resistant strains of M. tuberculosis (MIC50s = 3.13-6.25 μg/ml).1 Collinin inhibits LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production (IC50 = 5.9 μM) and reduces COX-2 protein levels in RAW 264.7 cells.2 It completely inhibits aggregation of isolated rabbit platelets induced by arachidonic acid , collagen, or platelet activating factor (PAF) when used at a concentration of 100 μM.3 Dietary administration of collinin (0.05% w/w) reduces the number of mice with tumors and the number of tumors per mouse in a mouse model of colitis-related carcinogenesis.4 |1.

Haplopine shows photo-activated antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. It exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities with almost no toxicity to the cells.
gamma-Fagarine possesses moderate levels of anti-HCV activities with IC50 values being 20.4 ± 0.4 ug ml, respectively. It has sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs)-inducing activity
Decarine has high antibacterial activity against mycobacterial, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and low cytotoxicity towards human macrophages.Decarine inhibits fMLP CB-induced elastase release with IC(50) values < or = 5.53 microg mL.
