Matairesinol has radical and superoxide scavenging activities,; it also has anti-angiogenic activity by suppressing mROS signaling , can decrease hypoxia-inducible factor-1α± in hypoxic HeLa cells.

Griffipavixanthone inhibits the growth of human Non-small-cell lung cancer H520 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners, it induces cell apoptosis through mitochondrial apoptotic pathway accompanying with ROS production. It can inhibit tumor metastasis

Entrectinib (RXDX-101) is an inhibitor of TrkA (IC50: 1.7 nM), TrkB (IC50: 0.1 nM), and TrkC (IC50: 0.1 nM), as well as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK; IC50: 1.6 nM) and C-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1; IC50: 0.2 nM). Entrectinib blocks proliferation of ALK-dependent cell lines, including those with C1156Y or L1196M resistance mutations, and inhibits ALK‐dependent signaling. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of a non-small cell lung Y cell line bearing an EML4-ALK rearrangement. In mice bearing various ROS1, Trk, or ALK-driven xenografts, Entrectinib has been shown to induce tumor regression.

Isodunnianol exhibits anti-AChE activity with an IC50 value of 13.0 uM; it also exhibits neurite outgrowth-promoting activity at the concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 uM in the primary cultured rat cortical neurons. Isodunnianol, dunnianol, and Macrant

Plumbagin (Plumbaein) is a yellow dye, formally derived from naphthoquinone. It is named after the plant genus Plumbago, from which it was originally isolated. It is also commonly found in the carnivorous plant genera Drosera and Nepenthes. It is also a component of the black walnut drupe.
