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.
Kobusin, a Calmodulin inhibitor, shows mild antiplasmodial,anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities; it may be beneficial for the treatment of neuro-inflammatory diseases through the inhibition of iNOS expression and peroxynitrite scavenging potential. Kobusin can mildly reduce gastrointestinal motility in mice, it activates CFTR and CaCCgie chloride channel activities in mouse colonic epithelia and shows inhibitory effects toward ANO1 CaCC-mediated short-circuit currents in ANO1 CaCC-expressing FRT cells.
