(-)-Perillaldehyde shows antibacterial activity.

2-Methylcyclopent-2-enone is a cyclic ketone widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

S)-(-)-Perillic acid is a terpenoid natural product capable of inhibiting protein pentosylisation and protein acylation. It exhibits anti-infective and anti-cancer activity, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells while increasing intracellular protein levels of Bax, p21, and caspase-3.

Dehydroperilloxin possesses inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase-1, with the IC(50) value of 30.4 microM.
