1. Tiliroside (Tribuloside) shows anticarcinogenic activity. 2. Tiliroside shows hepatoprotective activity. 3. Tiliroside shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, can inhibit neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Tiliroside has anti-diabetic effect, are at least partially mediated through inhibitory effects on carbohydrate digestion and glucose uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. 5. Tiliroside and gnaphaliin are antioxidants against in vitro Cu(2+)-induced LDL oxidation in the same order of magnitude compared to that of the reference drug, probucol. 6. Tiliroside enhances fatty acid oxidation via the enhancement adiponectin signaling associated with the activation of both AMP-activated protein kinase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α and ameliorates obesity-induced metabolic disorders.
Agrimonolide, a compound derived from isocoumarins and found mainly in the herb Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb, has significant biological activity. agrimonolide exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of JAK-STATs and p38 MAPKs signaling pathways. Agrimonolide and its derivative, desmethyl agonolide, have been shown to be effective in increasing insulin-mediated glycogen levels in hepatocytes and may play a key role in regulating insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. agrimonolide exhibits inhibitory effects on cancer progression and induction of cell death and apoptosis by targeting SCD1 in ovarian cancer cells. In particular, Agrimonolide exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation, migration and invasion of A2780 and SKOV-3 cells, while promoting apoptosis. The compound was also found to induce iron-mediated cell death while increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and total iron levels.Agrimonolide readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, suggesting its potential for therapeutic applications in neurological disorders.
Highest concentrations of (2R,3R)-(+)-glucodistylin, (2S,3S)-(-)-glucodistylin and 3-O-( -d-xylopyranosyl)taxifolin occur in European beeches can strongly infest with beech scale.
1beta-Hydroxyeuscaphic acid demonstrates notable hepatoprotective activity, effectively minimizing the leakage of intracellular enzymes, attenuating protein oxidation, and reducing apoptosis rates.
1β-Hydroxy-2-oxopomolic acid inhibits adipocyte differentiation through downregulation of various adipocytokines by blocking PPARγ and C/EBPα expression.
