Combination therapy with octyl gallate and ferulic acid improves cognition and neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.5. Octyl Gallate is a potential anticancer agent, it exhibited decreased MCF-7 & MDA-MB-231 survival and induced apoptosis, with IC50 value of 40 uM. 6. Octyl gallate (Octyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate) has antiviral activity, it shows an inhibitory effect on the growth of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in HEp-2 or Vero cells. 7. Octyl gallate shows antifungal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC7754 and Zygosaccharomyces bailii ATCC 60483.

Sophoridine (Dihydro-5-episophocarpine), a natural anticancer drug, has been used in China for decades. A series of novel N-substituted Sophoridinic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity with 1 as the lead. The structure-activity relationship indicated that introduction of an aliphatic acyl on the nitrogen atom might significantly enhance the anticancer activity. Among the compounds, 6b bearing bromoacetyl side-chain afforded a potential effect against four human tumor cell lines (liver, colon, breast, and lung). The mechanism of action of 6b is to inhibit the activity of DNA topoisomerase I, followed by the S-phase arrest and then cause apoptotic cell death, similar to that of its parent 1.

Cuminaldehyde (Cuminal) is a natural aldehyde with inhibitory effect on alpha-synuclein fibrillation and cytotoxicity. Cuminaldehyde shows anticancer activity,with a pleasant smell and contributes to the aroma of essential oils.

Monensin is an antiprotozoal agent produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It has an inhibitory effect on the Wnt β-catenin signaling cascade. Monensin is a prospective anticancer drug for the therapy of neoplasia with deregulated Wnt signaling.

Icaritin (Anhydroicaritin) has hormone regulation activity and cardiovascular function improvement activity. Icaritin has anticancer activity, can induce S phase arrest and apoptosis, inhibit ENKL cell proliferation. Icaritin has anti-multiple myeloma activity, mainly mediated by inhibiting IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Icaritin at low concentration (4 or 8 μMol/L) can promote rat chondrocyte proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, while the effect of Icaritin on rat chondrocyte at high concentration was reversed.

Jaceosidin has anti-oxidative activity. Jaceosidin has anti-inflammatory activity, also a microglial inhibitor with anti-neuroinflammation activity. aceosidin has anticancer activity, modulates the ERK ATM Chk1 2 pathway, leading to inactivation of the Cd

1. Oxypeucedanin ((+-)-Oxypeucedanin) has novel anticancer effect, mediated via induction of G2-M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells. 2. Oxypeucedanin is a kind of open-channel blocker of the hKv1.5 channel and it prolongs the APD; therefore, it is an excellent candidate as an antiarrhythmic drug for atrial fibrillation.

Mogrosides IV is a sweet minor cucurbitane glycoside, it exhibits maltase inhibitory effect(IC50 : 10 mM), and with antioxidant, antidiabetic and anticancer activities.

Neogambogic acid, an active ingredient in garcinia, can inhibit the growth of some solid tumors [resulting in an anticancer effect], and may be responsible for the inhibition of proliferation of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells.

1. (+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol is a potential new anticancer agent that exerts its activity through inducing ER stress and apoptosis. 2. Falcarindiol induces immunosuppressive effects in vitro and in vivo and might be a novel therapy for autoimmune or allergic diseases. 3. Falcarindiol has protective effect against CCl(4) toxicity , in part, be explained by anti-lipid peroxidation activity associated with the induction of the GSTs including GSTA4.

Helichrysetin has mild anti-HIV-1 PR activity. Helichrysetin has great potentials for development as an anticancer agent, it has cytotoxic effect on four selected cancer cell lines, A549, MCF-7, Ca Ski, and HT-29.

Homopterocarpin and Pterocarpus extract offer gastroprotection against indomethacin- induced ulcer by antioxidative mechanism and the modulation of gastric homeostasis, homopterocarpin may be responsible for, or contribute to the antiulcerogenic property

Odorine has potent anti-carcinogenic effect by inhibiting both the initiation and promotion stages of two-stage skin carcinogenesis. It was found to inhibit the growth of the vinblastine-resistant KB cells by enhancing the anticancer activity of vinblastine.
