1. beta-Asarone (Cis-Isoelemicin) may be a potential preventive drug for Alzheimer's disease. 2. Beta-Asarone prevents autophagy and synaptic loss by reducing ROCK expression in SAMP8 mice. 3. The co-administration of beta-Asarone(Cis-Isoasarone) and l-dopa may contribute to the treatment of 6-OHDA-induced damage in rats by inhibiting autophagy activity. 4. Beta-Asarone exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators through NF-κB signaling and the JNK pathways in activated microglial cells and might be developed as a promising candidate to treat various neuroinflammatory diseases.

(-)-Asarinin (Eleutheroside B4) shows antibacterial activity.

alpha-Asarone (trans-Asarone) is a psychoactive compound with antidepressant-like activity in mice.

(-)-Sesamin is a natural product with neuroprotective effects. It protects against 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity by activating ERK1/2-BadSer112 and inhibiting ERK-p38MAPK-JNK1/2-caspase-3 pathways, making it useful for Parkinson's disease research.

γ-Asarone is a natural phenylpropene derivative exhibiting inhibitory activity against SK-MEL-2 and A549 cells.
