cis-L-Hydroxyproline inhibits the synthesis and extracellular deposition of collagen. The growth inhibition of pancreatic cancer cells induced by the Hyp isomer could be due to endoplasmatic reticulum stress.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a colorless amine oxide produced from choline, betaine, and carnitine via intestinal microbial metabolism that accumulates in tissues of marine animals and prevents the protein-damaging effects of urea.Trimethylamine N-oxide induces inflammation through activation of ROS NLRP3 inflammasomes, which can induce fibroblast differentiation and cardiac fibrosis.

Formononetin (Flavosil) is an O-methylated isoflavone and a phytoestrogen from the root of Astragalus membranaceus.

Ferulic Acid (Coniferic acid) is a highly abundant phenolic phytochemical and a type of organic compound found in the Ferula assafoetida L. or Ligusticum chuanxiong.It can be absorbed by the small intestine and excreted through the urine.

2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid) is an active metabolite of salicylic acid degradation with a broad spectrum of biological activity, such as anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and antioxidant properties.

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.

beta-Escin is a natural mixture of triterpenoid saponins isolated from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) seeds, can be used as a vasoprotective anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and anti-nociceptive agent.

Heparan sulfate is a natural product, a linear polysaccharide. Heparan sulfate occurs as a proteoglycan (HSPG) that is tightly attached to cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins.

Picroside I (6'-Cinnamoylcatalpol), a hepatoprotective agent, is reported to be antimicrobial and used against hepatitis B. It has antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, it may be the valuable anti-invasive drug candidates for cancer therapy by suppressing Collagenases and Gelatinases. Picroside I can enhance basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)-, staurosporine- or dbc-mitogen-activated protein (MAP)-induced neurite outgrowth from PC12D cells.

Picropodophyllin (Picropodophyllin (PPP)) (PPP) is a specific IGF-1R inhibitor (IC50: 1 nM). Picropodophyllin specifically inhibits the activity and downregulates the cellular expression of IGF1R without interfering with activities of other growth factor receptors, such as receptors for insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and mast stem cell growth factor (KIT).

Loureirin B can downregulate the expression of fibrosis-related molecules by regulating MMPs and TIMPs levels, inhibit scar fibroblast proliferation and suppress TGF-β1-induced fibrosis, during which TGF-β1 Smad2 3 pathway is likely involved.

Picropodophyllotoxin (AXL 1717) is a cyclolignan alkaloid found in the mayapple plant family (Podophyllum peltatum), and a small molecule inhibitor of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) with potential antineoplastic activity. Picropodophyllotoxin (AXL 1717) specifically inhibits the activity and downregulates the cellular expression of IGF1R without interfering with activities of other growth factor receptors, such as receptors for insulin, epidermal growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and mast stem cell growth factor (KIT). This agent shows potent activity in the suppression o f tumor cell proliferation and the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. IGF1R, a receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in a variety of human cancers, plays a critical role in the growth and survival of many types of cancer cells.

Ferulic acid acyl-β-D-glucoside, a metabolite of Ferulic Acid, is a novel inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). It exhibits IC50 values of 3.78 µM and 12.5 µM for FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively.

Vitexolide D shows moderate antibacterial activity against a panel of 46 Gram-positive strains. It also shows cytotoxic activities against the HCT-116 cancer cell line and human fetal lung fibroblast MRC5 cell line (1 < IC50s < 10 uM).

Pegozafermin, a fibroblast growth factor FGF21 analog, is an endogenous metabolic hormone that regulates energy expenditure and glucose and lipid metabolism. It reduces triglyceride (TG) levels and is used for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) [1] [2].

Tembetarine chloride is an alkaloid isolated from Tinospora cordifolia, known for its antibacterial properties. It exhibits mild cytotoxicity against mouse fibroblast cells (L929) and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293), with IC50 values of 1245.33 μg mL and 1642.81 μg mL, respectively.
