Nisin Z has anti-inflammatory activity and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine release by inhibiting activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, attenuating lipopolysaccharide-induced mastitis through inhibition of the ERK1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways.

SB 202190 (FHPI) is a p38 MAPK inhibitor that inhibits p38α and p38β2 (IC50=50/100 nM) selectively and cell-permeably. SB 202190 has antitumor activity and also induces the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes.

Bakuchiol possesses anti-tumor,and anti-helmenthic properties. It has cytotoxic activity, mainly due to its DNA polymerase1 inhibiting activity. Bakuchiol has anti-bacterial activity against oral pathogens, has great potential for use in food additives and mouthwash for preventing and treating dental caries.

(-)-Bornyl acetate (L-(-)-Bornyl acetate) is a less active enantiomer of (+)-Bornyl acetate. Isolated from hyssop oil, it possesses antifungal, highly active whitening, and antioxidant properties, and it has potential applications in cosmeceutical materials. It downregulates proinflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo, reduces the number of total cells, neutrophils, and macrophages in BALF, attenuates histologic lung alterations, decreases the wet-to-dry weight ratio in BALF, and inhibits the activation of NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha, extracellular regulated protein kinases, c-JunN-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
