1. Thonningianin A has anti-cancer activities.2. Thonningianin A represents a new potent glutathione S-transferase in vitro inhibitor.3. Thonningianin A has antioxidant property, involves radical scavenging, anti-superoxide formation and metal chelation.

2,5-dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dio (Thermophillin) is a natural product. The redox cycle of 2,5-dimethoxybenzoquinone is a source of reducing equivalent for the regeneration of Fe2+ and H2O2 in brown rot fungal decay of wood.

Petunidin-3-O-glucoside chloride has significantly higher antioxidant activity than the Fe2+ control. Petunidin-3-O-glucoside causes problems in digestibility, may be important dietary supplements with beneficial health effects.
