Allicin exerts antioxidant, bactericidal, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory activities, it exerts an inhibitory immunomodulatory effect on intestinal epithelial cells. Allicin could significantly inhibit vascular smooth muscle cells' proliferation and migration induced by insulin, which may be related to the inhibition of the activation of ERK signal path. Allicin is beneficial in reducing blood cholesterol, triglycerides levels and systolic blood pressure in hypercholesterolemic rats, it may beneficially affect two risk factors for atherosclerosis-hyperlipidemia and hypertension.

Kazinol U shows estrogenic activity with ligand-activity of estrogen receptor, transcriptional activity of estrogen -responsive element-reporter genes, it may have beneficial effects in the treatment of menopausal symptoms.

Goshonoside F5 has anti-inflammatory activity, it significantly inhibits the pro-inflammatory response induced by LPS, both in vitro and in vivo.

Scandoside, a cyclic enolide that can be isolated from Haemophilus difficile, exhibits anti-inflammatory activity, inhibits the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), TNF-α, and IL-6 messenger RNA (mRNA), and inhibits the nuclear transcription factor, kappa-B alpaha (IκB-α), p38, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor phosphorylation.

1-Hydroxy-2,3,5-trimethoxyxanthone (HM-1) exhibits vasodilator action through an endothelium-dependent mechanism involving NO and an endothelium-independent mechanism by inhibiting Ca(2+) influx via L-type voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels. A minor contribution to HM-1's effects may stem from inhibiting protein kinase C-mediated release of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. At 1 µg mL, HM-1 effectively inhibits osteoclast differentiation in co-cultures with mouse osteoblastic calvarial and bone marrow cells and protects mice from acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), likely by increasing IκB-α protein expression and suppressing inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-Ⅱ protein expression.

Isophysalin A exhibits anti-inflammatory activitiy, it exhibits conjugating abilities with glutathione and also shows significant nitric oxide (NO) production inhibiting activities.

Latifolin is a strong DPPH-scavenger, it attenuates inflammatory responses by inhibiting NF-κB activation via Nrf2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 expression.
