Umbelliferone
|
|
Umbelliferone is a competitive inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase. It is a fluorescing compound used as a sunscreen agent and shows good inhibitions of DPPH, hydroxyl, superoxide anion and ABTS radicals with antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycaemic, anti-allergic, molluscicidal and anti-tumor activities. Umbelliferone has stimulatory effect on adipocyte differentiation likely occurs through up-regulation of adipogenic transcription factors and downstream adipocyte-specific gene expression. |

Falcarindiol
|
|
Falcarindiol has antimutagenic, neuroprotective, antifungal, anti-bacterial, and anticancer activities, it could be potentially used in food manufactures and cosmetology as preservative agents and biopesticides, or in medicine as new antibiotics. Falcarindiol has protective effects against CCl(4) toxicity, in part, the effects might be explained by anti-lipid peroxidation activity associated with the induction of the GSTs including GSTA4. |

Sakuranetin
|
|
Sakuranetin, a flavanone phytoalexin from ultraviolet-irradiated rice leaves, it has antifungal, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, it shows a suppressive effect on umu gene expression of SOS response in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 against the mutagen furylfuramide. Sakuranetin may contribute to maintain glucose homeostasis in animals, it can strongly induce differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, stimulate glucose uptake in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes.Sakuranetin stimulates melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells via inhibition of ERK1/2 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, which lead to upregulation of Tyr, TRP1, and TRP2. |

Theaflavin
|
|
Theaflavin is a suitable natural inhibitor against influenza A (H1N1) neuraminidase, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, anti-mutagenic, anti-HSV-1, and anti-carcinogenic properties. Theaflavin is active in the prevention of fatty liver and obesity, it can significantly reduce lipid accumulation, suppress fatty acid synthesis, and stimulate fatty acid oxidation. Theaflavin inhibits LPS-Induced IL-6, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages through the blockade of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways; it also protects nigral dopaminergic neurons against chronic MPTP/probenecid induced Parkinson's disease. |

Hederagenin
|
|
Hederagenin shows anti-cancer,anti-inflammatory, antidepressant-like ,anticomplementary, and antimutagenic effects, it can evoke hemolysis on the erythrocytes, and has cytotoxic on various tumor cell lines, P-388, L-1210, U-937, HL-60, SNU-5 and HepG2. Hederagenin can inhibit LPS-stimulated expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB, regulate monoamine neurotransmitters and 5-HTT mRNA expression. |
