1-Linoleoyl Glycerol (Monolinolein) is fatty acid glycerol that has been isolated from Saururus Chinensis roots. The (R)-1-Linoleoyl Glycerol and (S)-1-Linoleoyl Glycerol exhibit Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 45.0 and 52.0 μM, respectively.

Manassantin A is a high potent HIF-1 inhibitor, it protects the gastric mucosa from ethanol-induced acute gastric injury, and suggest that these protective effects might be associated with COX PGE2 stimulation, inhibition of iNOS production and NF-κB act

Dihydroguaiaretic acid has antioxidative activity, can significantly protect primary cultured neuronal cells against glutamate-induced oxidative stress.

Saucerneol has significant cardiovascular effects such as vasorelaxant and negative inotropic actions.

Manassantin B is a potent inhibitor of NF-κB activation by the suppression of transciptional activity of RelA p65 subunit of NF-κB. It also possesses anti-EBV lytic replication activity. Manassantin B inhibits interleukin-6-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation in Hep3B cells, it has potential as a potent anti-inflammatory drug for use in pathological processes such as sepsis or acute lung injury. Manassantin B exerts antifibrotic activity in HSC-T6 cells, in part, via inhibition of cell proliferation and decrease of collagen production.
