Isochlorogenic acid A possesses the potent anti-hepatitis B activity and anti-HBV activity, could be achieved by its antioxidative property and induction of HO-1.

6-O-Acetylscandoside is a natural compound classified as an iridoid glycoside, sourced primarily from certain plant species known for their medicinal properties. The molecular structure of this compound includes an acetyl group attached to the 6-O position of scandoside, a modification that is significant in understanding its bioactivity. Iridoid glycosides like 6-O-Acetylscandoside are secondary metabolites in plants, often implicated in defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens. The mode of action of 6-O-Acetylscandoside involves modulation of biochemical pathways due to its glycosidic linkage and acetyl modification, potentially influencing enzyme interactions and receptor binding. This alteration can impact cellular processes and signal transduction, making it of interest in pharmacological studies. The applications of 6-O-Acetylscandoside are largely in the field of natural product research, where it is investigated for its potential therapeutic properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Its role as a bioactive compound also extends to ecological studies, where understanding its function in plant defense can lead to insights on plant-environment interactions. Further research is crucial to elucidate its pharmacokinetics and potential clinical uses.

Forsythoside A possesses strong antibacterial, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral effects. it has the potential to prevent IBV infection in vitro, it can promote the expression of IFN-α and Mx1 significantly.Forsythoside A has inductive effects on the activities of CYP1A2 and CYP2C11, without affecting CYP2D1 and CYP3A1/2 activities.

Dehydrodiisoeugenol has anti-inflammatory activity, it inhibited the expression of the COX-2, proteolysis of inhibitor κB-α and transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Dehydrodiisoeugenol can cross the blood-brain barrier rapidly, it may be developed into an effective anxiogenic agent.

Palmatine , a protoberberine alkaloid, is present in preparations from medicinal plants such as Coptis chinensis and Corydalis yanhusuo, palmatine activates the AhR-CYP1A pathway in HepG2 monolayer, while the potential for CYP1A induction is irrelevant in cell systems which are closer to the in vivo situation, i.e. in HepG2 spheroids and primary cultures of human hepatocytes.

Gomisin D is a natural product from Schizandra chinensis.

Cratoxylone exhibits potent activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-resistant strain W2, with the IC₅₀ value belows 3 uM.

Chlorogenic acid has antioxidative activity, superoxide anion radicals, and radical scavenging activity.

Fargesin has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antihypertensive , and anti-bone-resorbing effects, it is widely used in the treatment of managing rhinitis, inflammation, histamine, sinusitis, and headache. Fargesin improves lipid and glucose metabolism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and high-fat diet-induced obese mice by activating Akt and AMPK in WAT. It as a potential β1 adrenergic receptor antagonist protects the hearts against ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats via attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Luteolin, is a common flavonoid that exists in many types of plants including fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs, has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy and anticancer, has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for treating various diseases such as hypertension, inflammatory disorders, and cancer.

Ecliptasaponin A has protective effects against the pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin via reducing the oxidative stress, lung tissue inflammation, and the subsequent epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Hispidulin has anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antiepileptic, neuroprotective, anti-osteoporotic and bone resorption attenuating effects, it targets the VEGF receptor 2-mediated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in endothelial cells, leading to the suppression of pancreatic tumor growth and angiogenesis. Hispidulin can ameliorate high glucose-mediated endothelial dysfunction via inhibiting PKCβII-associated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and NF-κB signaling, it has potential application in the prevention and treatment of diabetic vascular complications. Hispidulin can inhibit platelet aggregation by elevating cAMP levels by a mechanism different from that of theophylline or PGE1.

Ophiopogonin B (OP-B) is a bioactive component of Radix Ophiopogon Japonicus, which is often used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat pulmonary disease, it is a prospective inhibitor of PI3K/Akt and may be used as an alternative compound to treat NSCLC, it also induces apoptosis, mitotic catastrophe and autophagy , has inhibitory effect on adhesion, invasion and migration of A549 cells in vitro.[1-3]

Oxymatrine, one of the major components of Sophora flavescens ait, has exhibited anti-hepatitis virus infection, anti-hepatic fibrosis, anti-inflammation, anti-anaphylaxis and other immune-regulation, it induces human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells apoptosis via regulating expression of Bcl-2 and IAP families, and releasing of cytochrome C.
