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.

N-Acetyl-L-arginine (Ac-Arg-OH), an N-acyl-L-alpha-amino acid with a strong basic nature (based on its pKa), has elevated serum levels in hyperargininemic patients and is associated with several diseases, including uremia and colorectal cancer. In untreated hyperargininemic patients, it reaches its highest levels in cerebrospinal fluid. It has also been detected in apples and loquats, suggesting it could be a potential biomarker for consumption of these foods. Additionally, a low-arginine diet combined with sodium benzoate therapy leads to a marked decrease in plasma N-acetyl-L-arginine concentrations.

Liensinine is the active constituent of plumula nelambinis with anti-hypertension.

Cannabigerol is a high affinity α±2-adrenergic receptor agonist, moderate affinity 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, and low affinity CB1 receptor antagonist ; also binds to the CB2 receptor; it can relieve interocular pressure, which may be of benefit in the treatment of glaucoma.

Palmitoylcarnitine chloride (Palmitoyl DL-carnitine chloride) is a mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation intermediate that mediates intralipid cardioprotection.Palmitoylcarnitine chloride eliminates colorectal cancer cell survival by depletion of glutathione. induces cancer cell death and regulates the interaction between protein kinase C βII and its receptor RACK1.

Polyphyllin G (Polyphyllin VII), the the main member of polyphyllin family, shows strong anticancer activity against several carcinomas, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and osteosarcoma.

Tetrac (Tetraiodothyroacetic acid) is a derivative of L-thyroxine (T4), a thyroxine integrin receptor antagonist.Tetrac induces antiproliferation by blocking EGFR-mediated cell signaling in colorectal cancer cells.Tetrac blocks the effects of T4 and 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) on the cell-surface thyroxine integrin αvβ3 receptors.Tetra has anti-angiogenic, anti-tumor activity and pro-apoptotic activity.

Chevalone C is a meroterpenoid fungal metabolite originally isolated from E. chevalieri. It is active against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (MIC = 6.3 μg/ml) and is cytotoxic to BC1 human breast cancer cells (IC50 = 8.7 μg/ml). Chevalone C inhibits the growth of multidrug-resistant isolates of E. coli, S. aureus, and E. faecium in a disc diffusion assay when used at a concentration of 15 μg/disc. It also induces cell death in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells.

(−)-N-Hydroxyapiosporamide (NHAP), an alkaloid, serves as an NF-κB inhibitor and demonstrates significant antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, with potential applications in colorectal cancer (CRC) research [1].

Pennogenin 3-O-beta-chacotrioside, isolated from *Paris polyphylla*, exhibits anti-colorectal cancer activity by modulating autophagy through increased expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3 and Beclin-1.

1. Acevaltrate (Acevaltratum) displays high cytotoxicity against GLC(4), a human small-cell lung cancer cell line, and against COLO 320, a human colorectal cancer cell line, with IC50 values of 1-6 uM.

Dehydroglyasperin D exhibits anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, antioxidant and anti-aldose reductase effects, it inhibits the proliferation of HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells through direct interaction with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; it also mediates suppression of both COX-2 expression and the MLK3 signalling pathway through direct binding and inhibition of MLK3. Dehydroglyasperin D shows strong ferric reducing activities and effectively scavenged DPPH, ABTS(+), and singlet oxygen radicals.

3-O-Methylgallic acid (3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid) reduces cell proliferation in Caco-2 cells (IC50 = 24.1 μM) more effectively than anthocyanins and may offer protection against colon cancer after its formation in the gut. It inhibits transcription factors NF-κB, AP-1, STAT-1, and OCT-1, which are known to be activated in colorectal cancer.

Ethoxysanguinarine (6-Ethoxydihydrosanguinarine) shows human blood acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) and human plasma butyrylcholinesterase (HuBuChE) inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.83 + - 0.04 microM and 4.20 + - 0.19 microM, respectively.

Gliotoxin, a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor, induces growth inhibition and apoptosis in multiple colorectal cancer cell lines with mutations of the Wnt signaling pathway.

trans-3-Indoleacrylic acid is one of the endogenous metabolites that inhibits RSL3-induced ferroptosis and can be used to study colorectal cancer.

Dehydrovomifoliol could be a marker of Polish heather honey. Dehydrovomifoliol exhibits moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities. Dehydrovomifoliol shows significant cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines, namely, HONE-1 nasopharyngeal, KB oral epidermoid carcinoma, and HT29 colorectal carcinoma cells, and the IC(50) values in the range 3.7-8.1 microM.

(±)-Enterodiol, the racemate of Enterodiol, is metabolized from lignans found in whole-grain cereals, nuts, legumes, flaxseed, and vegetables by human intestinal bacteria. This compound exhibits apoptotic effects in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and has been identified to possess anti-cancer activities [1] [2].

Carcinoembryonic antigen peptide 1 (CEA peptide) is a Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) derived peptide, of which sequen is YLSGANLNL. CEA is a broad-spectrum tumour marker, a glycoprotein produced by colorectal cancer tissues, which acts as an antigen to elicit an immune response.

N2,N2-Dimethylguanosine, a urinary nucleoside, exhibits significantly higher mean levels in patients with colorectal cancer compared to those with intestinal villous adenoma or healthy adults.
