Applications 2-Methyl-5-oxo-1-cyclopentenyl Propionate (cas# 87-55-8) is a useful research chemical.

Applications Withaferin A is a promising anticancer constituent of Ayurvedic medicinal plant Withania somnifera. Withaferin A showed potent cytotoxicity against human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (JMAR and MDA-1986). Withaferin A has recently been found to be a leptin sensitizer that can reduce the weight in obese mice fed in a high-fat diet (see C249500).

Applications Eriodictyol is used in biological studies as natural compounds as sources of new bifunctional scaffolds targeting cholinesterases and beta amyloid aggregation. Eriodictyl is extracted from Yerba santa, an herb. The leaf is used to make medicine.Yerba santa is used for respiratory conditions including coughs, colds, tuberculosis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. It is also used for fever and dry mouth. Some people use it to relieve muscle spasms, to loosen phlegm, and as a tonic.
