<p>Glycocoumarin is a phytochemical compound that is primarily categorized as a bioactive flavonoid. It is derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, commonly known as liquorice, a plant renowned for its diverse pharmacological properties. The mode of action of glycocoumarin involves the modulation of various biological pathways, including its potential to influence inflammatory responses and antioxidant activity. This compound is known to interact with cellular signaling mechanisms, which could mediate its effects on immune modulation and cellular protection.</p>

<p>Epoxybergamottin is a furanocoumarin derivative, which is a natural bioactive compound. It is primarily sourced from citrus fruits, particularly grapefruit. The primary mode of action of epoxybergamottin is the inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, specifically CYP3A4. This enzyme is a major player in the metabolism of many pharmaceuticals, and its inhibition can lead to increased bioavailability and prolonged effects of drugs metabolized by this pathway.</p>

<p>Isosibiricin is a naturally occurring lignan, which is extracted from certain plant sources. This compound is derived from the genus Daphne, traditionally known for its diverse range of biologically active constituents. Its mode of action is primarily through the modulation of key signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Isosibiricin exhibits notable inhibitory effects on specific enzymes and receptors implicated in oncogenic processes, making it a subject of interest for cancer research.</p>
