Euscaphic acid has anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities, it inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses by interference with the clustering of TRAF6 with IRAK1 and TAK1, resulting in blocking the activation of IKK and MAPKs signal transduction

Taraxasterol (Taraxasterin) is compound with anti-inflammatory activity.

α-Viniferin known as 2-arylbenzofuran flavonoids, that are inhibitors of prostaglandin H2 synthetase. α-Viniferin has anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-tuberculosis, anti-tumor, anti-inflammation, anti-diabetes and other pharmacological activitie

Tirucallol is an antiinflammatory agent isolated from Euphorbia lactea.Tirucallol exerts a topical anti-inflammatory effect in vivo, via a mechanism of action related to the neutrophil migration.

Carboprost tromethamine, a synthetic 15-methyl analogue of prostaglandin F2α, effectively promotes uterine contractions and significantly reduces bleeding during and post-delivery.

β-Chamigrenal has anti-inflammatory activity, it has inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Chamigrenal shows platelet-activating factor antagonistic activity and the IC(50)

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a naturally occurring hormone involved in various physiological processes, such as smooth muscle contraction and relaxation, vasodilation and constriction, blood pressure regulation, and inflammatory regulation.

Cis-N-Feruloyltyramine is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants that shows cytotoxicity against the P-388 cancer cell line. Cis-N-Feruloyltyramine is an inhibitor of in vitro prostaglandin (PG) synthesis.

Sphondin has anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative activities, it possessed an inhibitory effect on IL-1beta-induced increase in the level of COX-2 protein and PGE(2) release in A549 cells.

Platycodin D may stimulate TNF-α synthesis or inhibit degradation of TNF-α mRNA. Platycodin D (10 30 μM) suppresses prostaglandin E2 production in rat peritoneal macrophages stimulated by the protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Platycodin D and D3 are useful as expectorant agents in the treatment of various airway diseases, they can increase mucin release from rat and hamster tracheal surface epithelial cell culture and also from intact rat trachea upon nebulization.
