Allantoin (Glyoxyldiureide), a urea hydantoin found in urine and plants, is used in dermatological preparations.

Esculentic acid has anti-inflammatory effect, it has protective effects against LPS-induced endotoxic shock may be mediated, at least in part, by regulation the release of inflammatory cytokines and mediators, and protein expression of COX-2 in mice.

Ethyl beta-D-fructofuranoside shows positive anti-tumor cells migration effects.

Phytolaccaceae has anti-tumor activity, the mechanism may be related to the capacity of Esculentoside H for TNF release.

Phytolaccoside B(Esculentoside B) is an antifungal monodesmoside triterpenoid glycoside, it has potent inhibitory activity against agrobacterial plant transformation.

Phytolaccagenic acid is a natural product

Esculentoside A can suppress inflammatory responses in LPS-induced ALI through inhibition of the NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Esculentoside A may be useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease through modulation on T c

3-O-acetyloleanolic acid dose-dependently inhibited the viability of HCT-116 cells. Apoptosis was characterized by detection of cell surface annexin V and sub-G1 apoptotic cell populations.

Esculentoside C exerts proinflammatory effects synergistically, it can induce inflammatory stimulation.

Phytolaccagenin, a triterpenoid saponin, is the active component of Radix Phtolaccae which are widely used in East Asian countries for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases.

Esculentoside T is isolated from Phytolacca esculent roots.
