Polydatin (Piceid), the glycoside of Resveratrol, is originally isolated from the Chinese herb Polygonum cuspidatum. The compound can inhibit platelet aggregation and elevate the ratios of LDL-C HDL-C and TC HDL-C. In the myocardial cell, white blood cell, vascular smooth muscle cell, and endothelial cell, Polydatin can inhibit ICAM-1 expression, elevate Ca2+, weaken white blood cell-endothelial cell adhesion, and activate KATP channels.

Tanshindiol C protects macrophages from oxLDL induced foam cell formation via activation of Prdx1 ABCA1 signaling and that Prdx1 may be a novel target for therapeutic intervention of atherosclerosis.It possesses a unique anti-cancer activity whose mechani

Isosalvianolic acid C exhibits more potent activity than probucol except for salvianolic acid F .

Methyl protodioscin (Smilax saponin B) potentially increase HDL cholesterol while reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Methyl protodioscin has antitumor property. Methyl protodioscin induced apoptotic process in human A549 cells is closely associated with Mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-3, and mitochondrial cytochrome c.

Cleomiscosin C has antioxidant activity, it protects against the oxidative modification of apoB-100 induced by either Cu2+ or HOCl ( IC50s of 23.6 and 3.9 microM, respectively), suggests that it could be beneficial in preventing LDL oxidation in atheroscl

Procyanidin A1 (Proanthocyanidin A1) has antiallergic effects, it inhibits degranulation downstream of protein kinase C activation or Ca2+; influx from an internal store in RBL-2H3 cells.
