1. Oxyresveratro can inhibit tyrosinase activity. 2. Oxyresveratro is useful to trauma models, as toxicity to glia could be beneficial by inhibiting reactive gliosis. 3. Oxyresveratrol (trans-Oxyresveratrol) has antioxidant activity, can reduce neuronal oxidative damage and protect hepatocytes against oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which may be associated with activation of Nrf2.

Resveratrol (SRT 501) is a polyphenolic natural product, a plant antitoxin with antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Resveratrol has a wide range of targets including COX, SIRT, LOC, etc. Resveratrol induces autophagy and apoptosis.

Veratrosine (Veratramine-beta-D-glucoside) is an alkaloid isolated from the herbs of Veratrum nigrum. Veratrosine exhibits feeble inhibition activity against platelet aggregation.

2,3-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (5,6-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde) is a benzoic acid analog, with high Antifungal activity (MIC=2.5 mM). 2,3-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde could be used for the synthesis of berberine.

Pseudojervine (O-beta-D-Glucopyranosyljervine) is derived from Veratrum nigrum L. Pseudojervine exhibits feeble inhibition activity against platelet aggregation.

The biological activity of Jervine (Jerwiny) is mediated via its interaction with the 7 passes transmembrane protein Smoothened. Jervine binds with and inhibits smoothened, which is an integral part of the Hedgehog signaling pathways. With smoothened inhibited, the GLI1 transcription cannot be activated and Hedgehog target genes cannot be transcribed.

Veratric acid (3,4-Dimethoxybenzoic acid) is a simple benzoic acid derived from plants and fruits with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation and blood pressure-lowering effects.

trans-Trimethoxyresveratrol (MR-3), a natural methoxylated analog of resveratrol, inhibits breast Y cell invasiveness by downregulation of PI3K/Akt and Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascades and reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Velutin shows the strongest inhibitory effect in NF-κB activation and exhibits the greatest effects in blocking the degradation of inhibitor of NF-κB as well as in inhibiting mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 and JNK phosphorylation. Velutin has anti-inflammatory property. Velutin exhibits the greatest potency among all flavones which reduce TNF-α and IL-6 production.

Veratramine (NSC-23880)(NSC-17821; NSC-23880) is a potent signal transduction inhibitor for treating tumors.

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid (Homoveratrumic acid) is the papaverine intermediate, used to synthesis cardiovascular drugs.
