Avenanthramide C is an orally available natural alkaloid with antioxidant/inflammatory properties that reduces the expression of TNF-a, BAK, IL-1b, and Bcl-2; reverses memory and behavioral deficits in Alzheimer's disease, with a reduction in caspase-3 cleavage and an increase in levels of pS9GSK-3β and IL-10, is able to bind α1A adrenergic and stimulate AMPK; can attenuate noise and drug-induced hearing loss.

Tricin can inhibit human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication by inhibiting CDK9. Tricin inhibits the proliferation and invasion of C6 glioma cells via the upregulation of focal-adhesion-finase (FAK)-targeting microRNA-7.

trans-2-Nonenal exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and fungi, and can be used in related research in the field of life sciences.

Avenanthramide A is a naturally occurring, orally active plant defensin that binds to and inhibits RNA helicase DDX3, induces mitochondrial swelling and CRC cell apoptosis, increases ROS production, exhibits antitumor activity, and can be used in colorectal cancer research.
