Liensinine is a human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) inhibitor and a novel autophagy/mitophagy inhibitor, which can antagonize the ventricular arrhythmias. It exerts remarkable effect against thrombosis and possesses strong effect against platelet aggregation and coagulation.

Oroxin B can selectively induce tumor-suppressive ER stress and concurrently inhibit tumor-adaptive ER stress in B-lymphoma cells for effective anti-lymphoma therapy.

Kirenol possesses anti-bacteria, immunosuppression, anti-obesity, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-arthritic activities. Kirenol has significant potential for its discovery as a new lead compound for management of topical pain and inflammation; it can upregulate nuclear Annexin-1 which interacts with NF-κB to attenuate synovial inflammation of collagen-induced arthritis in rats. Kirenol can attenuate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inhibiting differentiation of Th1 and th17 cells and inducing apoptosis of effector T cells. Kirenol activates the BMP and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways.

Ruscogenin exerts significant anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic activities.Ruscogenin significantly attenuates LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI )via inhibiting expressions of TF and iNOS and NF-κB p65 activation, it inhibits activation of neutrophil through cPLA 2 , PAK, Akt, MAPKs, cAMP, and PKA signaling pathways.

Dehydrocostus lactone(DCL) is exuded from sunflower roots and low DCL concentrations stimulate germination of the root parasite Orobanche cumana.
