lepidium meyenii

N-BENZYLFORMAMIDE is a natural product from Lepidium meyenii Walp.

Lepidiline A (Macaline A) is a flavonoid lignin with anti-inflammatory activity. Lepidiline A showed cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells with IC50 of 32.3 μM. It is the active ingredient of Lepidium meyenii Walpers, a plant in the brassica family, and improves the balance of endogenous sex hormones in mice and the fectility of fruit flies. Lepidiline A targets HSD17B1 gene to enhance enzyme activity, improve the efficiency of sex hormone bioconversion, and improve reproductive ability. Lepidiline A has anticancer activity.

N-(3-methoxybenzyl)-octadecanamide deverts from Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.).

Lepidiline B is a flavonolignan that exhibits anti-inflammation activities. It is isolated from the roots of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (Brassicaceae).

N-Benzyloctadecanamide is a distinct class of secondary metabolites in Lepidium meyenii Walp. (Maca).

N-Benzyllinoleamide ((9Z,12Z)-N-Benzyloctadeca-9,12-dienamide) is a natural product isolated from Lepidium meyenii Walp, has pharmaceutical property against exercise-induced fatigue.

N-(3-Methoxybenzyl)Oleamide (MAC 18:1), an agmatine isolated from Lepidium meyenii, has pharmacological effects on exercise-induced fatigue, which may be related to the modulation of energy metabolism and improvement of antioxidant status.
