1. Hypaphorine (Lenticin) is an indole-3-acetic acid antagonist which specifically compete with indole-3-acetic acid in binding to the indole-3-acetic acid-binding site in plant peroxidases.

Isobatatasin I, a phenanthrene derivative, is isolated from the rhizome of safflower [1].

N-Feruloylserotonin ((E Z)-Moschamine) is a selective FAAH inhibitor that inhibits [H]-AEA uptake and cell proliferation at low concentrations.

6-Hydroxykaempferol, a competitive tyrosinase inhibitor (IC50=124 nM), belongs to the flavonoids class and is a natural product derived from Carthamus tinctorius. Compared with L-DOPA, 6-Hydroxykaempferol can bind to the active site of tyrosinase with higher activity and also has high antioxidant activity.

6-hydroxyapigenin-6-O-β-D-glucoside-7-O-β-D-glucuronide is a natural product from Carthamus tinctorius Linn.

6-hydroxyl kaempherol-3,6-O-diglucosyl-7-O-Glucuronic acid is a natural product from Carthamus tinctorius Linn.

Anhydrosafflor yellow B ((2S,3S)-6,7-dihydroxy-5-[(2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]-2-[(1S,2R,3R)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutyl]-3-{2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-[(2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]-6-oxo-3-[(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-2-yl]cyclohexa-1,4-dien-1), isolated from Carthamus tinctorius, inhibits ADP-induced platelet aggregation, exhibits significant anti-oxidative effects in vitro, and possesses certain activity against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity.
