Mevastatin (ML236B) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that was initially isolated from the mold Pythium ultimum. Mevastatin was the first statin to enter clinical trials.

Taurine (2-Aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an organic acid widely distributed in animal tissues and is one of the constituents of bile acids. Taurine is involved in a number of processes related to energy expenditure and muscle function, and can treat fatigue and muscles as well as improve immune function.

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), an active component isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, suppresses the activation of ERK1 2 and JNK, and downregulates matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2, (MMP)-9 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Astragaloside IV is a bioactive saponin first isolated from the dried plant roots of the genus Astragalus, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.1 It dose-dependently inhibits human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3) in A549 cells (IC50 = 23 μM; LC50 = 865 μM).It inhibits replication of HAdV-3 and decreases HAdV-3-induced apoptosis. It has diverse protective effects for the cardiovascular, immune, digestive, and nervous systems. In particular, it reduces myocardial infarct size in dogs when administered prior to coronary ligation and reduces reperfusion arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts.

L-Cystathionine (Cystathionine, L-) is a key nonprotein amino acid related to metabolic conditions of sulfur-containing amino acids. L-Cystathionine can be used in studies about cardiovascular protection.

Ro 09-0680, a compound derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza, is a potent inhibitor of collagen-induced platelet aggregation in rabbits with potential anti-inflammatory activity for the study of cardiovascular disease.

Amaranth (Acid Red 27) as a potential component of lifestyle modification to improve cardiovascular risk profiles by modifying cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension.

Homovanillyl alcohol, a biological metabolite of Hydroxytyrosol, is a phenolic compound found in virgin olive oil (VOO) and wine. It exhibits high scavenging activities, protects red blood cells from hemolysis in a dose-dependent manner, and has a protective effect on cardiovascular disease and total mortality.

Esafosfan trisodium (FDP trisodium) is a cytoprotective natural sugar phosphate for the potential treatment of sickle cell anemia, cardiovascular ischemia and asthma. It acts by stimulating anaerobic glycolysis which generates adenosine triphosphate under ischemic conditions.

Bisphenol A is an endogenous metabolic compound of phenols and is widely used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. It is reproductive, developmental and systemic toxicant and is often classified as an endocrine disruptor. It has been linked to many diseases, including respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity and reproductive disorders.

Tyramine hydrochloride is a biogenic trace amine that is generated via the decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine, exhibiting neuromodulatory properties as well as cardiovascular and immunological effects.

D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate (D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate), also known as Fosfructose, is a cytoprotective natural sugar phosphate. It functions by promoting anaerobic glycolysis, which generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) under ischemic conditions. This compound holds potential for research in cardiovascular ischemia, sickle cell anemia, and asthma.

Danshensu (Dan shen suan A) is an active ingredient of *Salvia miltiorrhiza* with extensive cardiovascular benefits.

Hydroxytyrosol (2-(3,4-Di-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol) is an active ingredient extracted from the olive. It is one of the most efficient and secure antioxidants and can be used in the cardiovascular drugs.

Niacin (Nicotinic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin B family, which occurs in many animal and plant tissues, with antihyperlipidemic activity. Niacin is converted to its active form niacinamide, which is a component of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its phosphate form, NADP.

Protocatechuic acid (3, 4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid) (3, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) is a natural phenolic compound found in many edible and medicinal plants. Recent studies indicate that it could be used as a protective agent against cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. The mechanism of its action is mostly associated with antioxidant activity, including inhibition of generation as well as scavenging of free radicals and up-regulating enzymes which participate in their neutralization.

Notoginsenoside R1 (Sanchinoside R1) has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulatory properties.

3,4-Dimethoxyphenylacetic acid (Homoveratrumic acid) is the papaverine intermediate, used to synthesis cardiovascular drugs.

Icariin (Ieariline) belongs to the flavonol glycoside group of natural products, can inhibit PDE5 and PDE4 activity (IC50=432 73.50 μM), is also a PPARα activator. Icariin can increase cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood flow, promote hematopoiesis, immunity and bone metabolism.

Simvastatin (MK 733) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (Ki=0.2 nM) with oral activity. Simvastatin has hypolipidemic activity, inhibits hepatic production of cholesterol, and is also used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Ferulic acid sodium (Sodium ferulic), the sodium salt of ferulic acid, is a drug used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and to prevent thrombosis.

(E)-NMac1 is a compound extracted from Java ginger, useful in cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease research.

Solenopsin HCl is an alkaloid extracted from fire ants, inhibiting phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling and angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner, affecting cardiovascular function, and used in cardiovascular disease research.

Neoandrographolide (Neoandrographiside) has potent hypolipidemic effect and protects the cardiovascular without significant liver damage.Neoandrographolide has anti-inflammatory effect, might result from inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression through inhibiting p38 MAPKs activation.Neoandrographolide as chemosensitizer in S-Jurkat and X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP)-overexpressing Jurkat cells, a model for chemoresistance.

Pedaliin is a flavonoid extracted from the above-ground parts of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) and the Tibetan medicine Dracocephalum tanguticum Maxim.Pedaliin has shown antioxidant and anticancer effects against colon cancer in vitro, and can be used in the study of cardiovascular diseases.
