1. Tiliroside (Tribuloside) shows anticarcinogenic activity. 2. Tiliroside shows hepatoprotective activity. 3. Tiliroside shows antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, can inhibit neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Tiliroside has anti-diabetic effect, are at least partially mediated through inhibitory effects on carbohydrate digestion and glucose uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. 5. Tiliroside and gnaphaliin are antioxidants against in vitro Cu(2+)-induced LDL oxidation in the same order of magnitude compared to that of the reference drug, probucol. 6. Tiliroside enhances fatty acid oxidation via the enhancement adiponectin signaling associated with the activation of both AMP-activated protein kinase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α and ameliorates obesity-induced metabolic disorders.

Proteinases are enzymes that catalyse the breakdown of proteins. Proteinases are involved in many biological functions, including the digestion of ingested proteins, the breakdown of old proteins, and cell signalling. They also facilitate the formation of new protein products.

Glycyltyrosine, a dipeptide composed of tyrosine and glycine, is an incomplete breakdown product of protein catabolism or protein digestion.

Phenylalanylalanine (H-Phe-Ala-OH) is a dipeptide composed of phenylalanine and alanine, produced during incomplete protein digestion or catabolism [1].

Acid phosphatase (ACP) is an enzyme that releases attached phosphate groups from other molecules during digestion, is stored in lysosomes, has an optimal acidic pH, and serves as a medical marker and target for cancer immunotherapy.

Notrilobolide, an alkaloid with insecticidal properties, is isolated from sweet potatoes and impedes larval development in pests such as Tribolium castaneum. It disrupts the digestion and reproduction of insects by reducing their fecundity [1].

Glycyl-L-valine, a dipeptide composed of glycine and valine, is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism (incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism).
