Piceatannol (Astringenin) is an anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antiproliferative agent. It inhibits p56lck and syk protein tyrosine kinases and inhibits NF-κB activation and gene expression of TNF-induced. It is synthetic from the conversion of resveratrol by cytochrome P450 1B1.

1. Dehydroabietic acid (Dehydroabietate) (DAA) is an EBV-EA activation inhibitor. 2. DAA is a useful food-derived compound for treating obesity-related diseases, by decreasing plasma glucose, insulin levels, plasma triglyceride (TG) , and hepatic TG levels. 3. DAA derivatives displays anti-secretory and anti-pepsin effect in animal models.

Calenduloside E (Silphioside F) is a pentacyclic triterpene saponin extracted from Panax japonicus. It targets heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and has anti-apoptotic effect.

Pinosylvin (5-Styrylresorcinol) induces autophagy via AMPK activation. Pinosylvin is likely to act as a pro-angiogenic factor.

Pinobanksin 3-acetate (3-O-Acetylpinobanksin), a flavonoid derivative, is a strong antioxidant found in sunflowers and honey that inhibits LDL peroxidation.

Caffeic acid 4-O-glucoside (Linocaffein), a glycosylation product of Caffeic acid, reverses Aβ25-35-induced axonal atrophy and induces axonal regeneration in mouse cortical neurons, and can be used in Alzheimer's disease research.

Pseudolaric Acid C2 is a diterpenoid isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi.

Pseudolaric acid B β-D-glucoside (Pseudolaric acid B-glucopyranoside) is a natural product derived from Pseudolarix amabilis.

(E/Z)-Polydatin (Polydatin), is a natural precursor and glycoside form of resveratrol with a monocrystalline structure. While it is isolated from the bark of Picea sitchensis or Polygonum cuspidatum, Polydatin may be detected in grape, peanut, hop cones, red wines, hop pellets, cocoa-containing products, chocolate products and many daily diets. Polydatin possesses anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, anti-oxidative and anti-tumor activities. It is shown to mediate a cytotoxic action on colorectal cancer cells by inducing cell arrest and apoptosis.

Demethoxydeacetoxypseudolaric acid B's the metabolic reaction of TDA in vivo is mainly occurred in blood and contributes to be the hydrolysis of plasma esterase to ester bond, as well as the glucosylation reaction.

Pseudolaric acid A (NSC 615487) and -B can inhibit the growth of particular cell type.

Pinobanksin is a natural flavonoid that induces apoptosis in B-cell lymphoma cell lines and SH-SY5Y cells. It is a potent antioxidant that inhibits the peroxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and is able to occupy the catalytic center of xanthine oxidase (XO) and thus inhibit it. Pinobanksin also exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, anti-mutagenic, anti-proliferative, and anti-angiogenic effects.

Pseudolaric acid B, a natural diterpenoid compound, is isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi.

The physiologic effect of Methyl Paraben (Nipagin) is by means of Increased Histamine Release, and Cell-mediated Immunity. Methyl Paraben (Nipagin) is an antimicrobial agent, preservative, flavouring agent. Methyl Paraben (Nipagin) is a constituent of cloudberry, yellow passion fruit, white wine, botrytised wine and Bourbon vanilla.The physiologic effect of Methyl Paraben (Nipagin) has been shown to exhibit anti-microbial function.

Abietic Acid (Sylvic acid) is a diterpene extracted from Pimenta racemosavar. grissea with antimicrobial, antiproliferative and anti-obesity activities. It inhibits lipoxygenase activity and may be studied in allergic diseases.

Dehydroabietinol (Pomiferin A) inhibits growth of chloroquine-sensitive as well as chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum cultivated in erythrocytes in vitro (IC 50 26-27 microM).

1. Tectochrysin (Techtochrysine) has antioxidant effect. 2. Tectochrysin is promising inhibitors for the reversal of ABCG2-mediated drug transport. 3. Tectochrysin leads to apoptotic cell death in NSC-LC cells through activation of DR3 and Fas expression via inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation.

L-Threonic acid Calcium Salt is an anti-osteoporotic that stimulates ascorbic acid absorption and is commonly used in calcium supplements.

Terpineol is a natural product,used for making essence

Methyl Dehydroabietate is a natural diterpenoid that induces the expression of proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) in liver and PPARγ in adipose tissue in mice, reduces obesity-induced glucose and insulin tolerance, and possesses a variety of biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.

(+/-)-Pinocembrin (NSC-43318), a natural product from axillary pines, is a GPR120 ligand that promotes wound healing in the HaCaT cell line.

Pseudolaric acid A-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (Pseudolaric acid A-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) is a natural product with antibacterial, anticancer, and antifungal properties.

3-Carene(Delta-3-Carene) is a bicyclic monoterpene extracted from western larch and Douglas-fir that acts as a phytofungicide.3-Carene inhibits inflammatory infiltrates and COX-2 overexpression induced by nociceptive stimuli.3-Carene has anti-injury properties and promotes the activity and expression of alkaline phosphatase, an early marker of osteoblast differentiation.

(-)-Bornyl acetate (L-(-)-Bornyl acetate) is a less active enantiomer of (+)-Bornyl acetate. Isolated from hyssop oil, it possesses antifungal, highly active whitening, and antioxidant properties, and it has potential applications in cosmeceutical materials. It downregulates proinflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo, reduces the number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in BALF, attenuates histologic lung alterations, decreases the wet-to-dry weight ratio in BALF, and inhibits the activation of NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha, extracellular regulated protein kinases, c-JunN-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
