1. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone (5,7-Dihydroxy-4H-Chromen-4-One) isolated from DME is one of the active compounds that may contribute to regulate blood glucose levels. 2. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone exerts neuroprotective effect against 6-OHDA-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by activating Nrf2 ARE signal . 3. 5,7-Dihydroxychromone induces the translocation of Nrf2 to the nucleus and increases Nrf2 ARE binding activity which results in the up-regulation of the expression of Nrf2-dependent antioxidant genes, including HO-1, NQO1, and GCLc.

Verrucarin J (Muconomycin B), derived from the Myrothecium fungus family, effectively generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines, including A549, HCT 116, and SW-620. Besides its anticancer properties, it exhibits antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Mucor miehei. Furthermore, it notably inhibits the arenavirus Junin (JUNV) yield with an IC 50 of 1.2 ng mL.
