Polyphyllin D induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway as evidenced by decreased Bcl-2 expression levels, disruption of MMP and increased Bax, cytochrome C, and cleaved-caspase-3 levels. Polyphyllin D has an anti-angiogenic effect. Polyphyllin D has toxicity in human RBCs as well as its underlying mechanism for the hemolysis and eryptosis/erythroptosis. Polyphyllin D has strong anticancer activity, can overcome drug resistance in R-HepG2 cells and elicit programmed cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction.

PS-47(PS 47) is an inactive E-isomer of PS48. PS48 is an activator of PDK1.

KPLH1130, a specific pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor, enhances glucose tolerance in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). It effectively hinders macrophage polarization and mitigates proinflammatory reactions.
