Amarine

Cucurbitacin B (Cuc B) has profound in vitro and in vivo antiproliferative effects against human pancreatic Y cells. It inhibited AKT signaling activation through up-regulation of PTEN. Cucurbitacin B is an effective inhibitor of HIF-1 and provide new perspectives into the mechanism of its anticancer activity. Cucurbitacin B inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis via STAT3 pathway inhibition in A549 lung Y cells.

Alpha-Solamarine (Solamarine) is a glycoside alkaloid isolated from Solanum nigrum.Alpha-Solamarine is inhibitory to Globodera pallid and may be used for plant defense.

Santamarine has significant anticancer activity, can inhibit L1210 cells because of its cytotoxic,cytostatic and blocking mitosis and reducing uptake of thymidine. Santamarine and reynosin show bactericidal activity against clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Beta-Solamarine has antibacterial activity.
