Pseudolaric acid B is a diterpenoid acid, which is isolated from the roots and bark of the Pseudolarix amabilis, a tree native to China. This compound exhibits a complex mode of action, primarily disrupting microtubule dynamics, which interferes with cell division. Pseudolaric acid B targets the polymerization of tubulin, thereby inhibiting mitotic spindle formation and leading to cell cycle arrest. Its bioactivity has been extensively studied for its potential applications in both anti-fungal and anti-cancer therapies. In the context of cancer research, pseudolaric acid B is of particular interest due to its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells. As an anti-fungal agent, it has been shown to possess efficacy against various pathogenic fungi, offering potential utility in agricultural contexts as well. The multi-faceted mechanisms of action and broad application possibilities make Pseudolaric acid B a subject of ongoing research in pharmacology and biotechnology.

(R)-Pulegone - 95% is a monoterpene ketone, which is a type of organic compound commonly found in essential oils of mint plants, particularly in Mentha species. This compound is naturally derived from the aromatic leaves of these plants and is a major component contributing to their characteristic scent.

Ginsenoside Rb1 - 98% is a purified chemical compound, specifically a saponin, derived from the roots of Panax ginseng, a perennial plant native to East Asia. The compound belongs to the ginsenoside family, which constitutes the primary active components of ginseng.

A diterpenoid from Chinese medicinal plant Rabdosia rubescens with anti-inflammatory activity. It is a potent inhibitor of NF-κB and MAPK activation and suppresses the release of proinflammatory cytokines. It is also a covalent inhibitor of NLRP3, a sensor component of NLRP3 inflammasome. In a rodent model for cerebral amyloidosis, oridonin effectively prevented neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s disease-associated neuropathological changes. It reduced numbers of amyloid-β plaques in mice brain and reversed behaviour and social impairment.
