<p>Clinodiside D is a triterpenoid saponin, a specialized type of secondary metabolite that is isolated from various species of sea cucumbers. These marine organisms are well-known for their rich and diverse array of bioactive compounds, which they produce as a natural form of chemical defense against predators and pathogens. The mode of action of Clinodiside D involves the disruption of cellular integrity and signaling pathways within cancer cells, leading to apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation. This cytotoxic effect is achieved through the compound's ability to interact with cellular membranes and modulate key apoptotic pathways.</p>

<p>Luteolin-7-O-neohesperidoside is a flavonoid glycoside, which is predominantly derived from various plant sources, particularly those belonging to the families Rosaceae and Lamiaceae. It is structurally characterized by the attachment of luteolin to a neohesperidose sugar moiety, which alters its solubility and bioavailability properties. The mode of action of Luteolin-7-O-neohesperidoside involves its capacity to act as a potent antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative stress. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting key enzymes and signaling pathways involved in inflammatory responses.</p>

<p>Calendoflavoside is a flavonoid-based compound, which is an extract derived from the calendula plant, known for its rich flavonoid content. It functions primarily through the modulation of inflammatory pathways, acting on specific signaling molecules to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. This mode of action is particularly valuable in therapeutic contexts, as it allows Calendoflavoside to target and mitigate inflammation at the cellular level.</p>

Formononetin 7-O-glucoside-6''-O-malonate is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, which is often derived from various plant sources, particularly those in the legume family. It is a malonylated glucoside derivative of formononetin, a well-known isoflavone. This compound plays a significant role in the plants' defense mechanisms and contributes to their physiological processes.

<p>Rebaudioside J is a non-caloric sweetener, which is a purified glycoside derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant. The Stevia plant, native to South America, is well known for its sweet-tasting compounds, mainly the steviol glycosides. Rebaudioside J is one of these glycosides, specifically noted for its high sweetness intensity and favorable taste profile compared to other steviol glycosides.</p>

<p>Rebaudioside B is a type of steviol glycoside, which is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. This plant, native to Paraguay, is known for its intensely sweet leaves, which have been utilized for centuries by indigenous peoples for sweetening purposes.</p>

Isobetanin is a betalain pigment, which is a natural compound derived from the red beetroot (Beta vulgaris). As a member of the betalain family, it specifically belongs to the betacyanin subgroup, which imparts red-violet coloration. Its mode of action centers on its ability to act as an antioxidant, effectively scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Ziziphin is a triterpene glycoside which exhibits taste-modifying properties and derives from the leaves of Ziziphus jujuba (Rhamnaceae). In a study, Ziziphin was up to 4 times more active in suppressing the sweet taste of sucrose than other anti-sweet constituents (Suttisri, 1995). Ziziphin suppressed the sweetness induced by D-glucose, D-fructose, stevioside, glycine, sodium saccharin, aspartame and naringin dihydrochalcone. Ziziphin however showed no uppressive effect on the sour taste of hydrochloric acid and the bitter taste of quinine, indicating that ziziphin is highly specific to the sweet taste (Kurihara, 1992). Ziziphin was found to inhibit the sweet taste receptors in humans (Smith, 1983) by a mechanism known as taste modification. In comparison with known gymnemic acids, effects suggest that net dissociation of ziziphins from taste receptor membranes and/or inactivation in the membrane may be much faster than with gymnemic acids (Mahajan, 2009).

Spirosolane-type steroidal alkaloid glycoside found in ripe cherry tomato

<p>Gypenoside IX is a saponin compound, which is extracted from the Gynostemma pentaphyllum plant. This source is a perennial climbing herb known for its extensive use in traditional medicine throughout Asia. The mode of action of Gypenoside IX involves modulation of various signaling pathways, such as AMPK and PI3K/Akt, which play significant roles in cellular energy homeostasis and apoptotic processes.</p>
