Specnuezhenide (Nuezhenide) is isolated from the fruit of Ligustrum lucidum. It inhibits NF-κB and wnt/β-catenin signaling, thereby suppressing IL-1β-induced chondrocyte inflammation. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA).

1. Obtusifolin has antioxidant properties and improves chemically induced diabetes and its complications by modulation of oxidative stress. 2. Obtusifolin suppresses phthalate esters-mediated bone resorption, thus may be a novel anti-breast-cancer bone me

Rhetsinine is an aldose reductase inhibitor identified in Evodia rutaecarpa, with an IC50 value of 24.1 μM. At a concentration of 100 μM, Rhetsinine significantly reduces sorbitol accumulation, achieving an inhibition rate of 79.3%. This compound is applicable in research concerning diabetic complications, such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy.

Dammarenediol II may have the ability to prevent diabetic microvascular complications, including diabetic retinopathy, it can inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation and stress fiber forma

Tridocosahexaenoylglycerol (TG-DHA), an orally active dietary supplement, enhances outcomes in autoimmune encephalomyelitis among mice, exhibits beneficial impacts on neurodegenerative conditions, and fosters macular function improvement in diabetic retinopathy. It is applicable for investigating neurological, inflammatory immune, and metabolic diseases [1] [2] [3].

Siphonaxanthin is a carotenoid found in green algae, known for targeting the death receptor 5 (DR5) on cancer cells to induce apoptosis. In human leukemia HL-60 cells, it increases DR5 expression, reduces Bcl-2 levels, and activates caspase-3. It also inhibits fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1) signaling in endothelial cells. Siphonaxanthin suppresses the proliferation, migration, and tubular formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as the growth of microvessels in rat aorta rings. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties by blocking the translocation of high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRI) to lipid rafts in mast cells. Siphonaxanthin shows potential for research into diseases such as cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and rheumatoid arthritis.
