Madecassic acid
|
|
Madecassic acid has anti-diabetic, anti- tumor, wound-healing, and anti-inflammatory properties, it can improve glycemic control and hemostatic imbalance, lower lipid accumulation, and attenuate oxidative and inflammatory stress in diabetic mice. It can protect against hypoxia-induced oxidative stress in retinal microvascular endothelial cells via ROS-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress. It inhibited the esspession of NOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and the downregulation of NF-kappaB activation. |

Capsaicin
|
|
Capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient in 'hot' chilli peppers, is a TRPV1 agonist with EC50 of 0.29±0.05 μM in HEK293 cells, which elicits a sensation of burning pain by selectively activating sensory neurons that convey information about noxious stimuli to the central nervous system, it may used as a pain therapy by the long-lasting and inhibitory effects on persistent pain. Capsaicin has antioxidant activity , it is more effective than melatonin in suppressing the formation of lipid hydroperoxides, it also reduces anxiety-like behaviours in rats and may be an admissible drug candidate for treating endometriosis. |

Piperine
|
|
Piperine, an inhibitor of human P-glycoprotein and/or CYP3A4, which has antinociceptive, antiarthritic, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory , antitumor, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, chemo-protective, and anti-inflammatoryactivities. Administration of piperine appears to reverse preexisting high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance, probably by activation of adiponectin-AMPK signalling. |

Tectorigenin
|
|
Tectorigenin has hepatoprotective, antifibrotic, anti-leukemia, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, it could sensitize paclitaxel-resistant human ovarian cancer cells through inactivation of the Akt/IKK/IκB/NFκB signaling pathway, and promise a new intervention to chemosensitize paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer. |

Tectoridin
|
|
Tectoridin, an lens aldose reductase inhibitor, has several pharmacological effects including hypoglycemic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotectivy. It possesses a estrogenic and thyroid hormone-like agent by activating estrogen and thyroid hormone receptors, it also has inhibition on prostaglandin E2 production and cyclooxygenase-2 induction. |
