(-)-Asimilobine shows antioxidative, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), anti-α±-glucosidase, anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal activities; it displays weak inhibition against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175), with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) o

Niranthin is a potent anti-leishmanial agent, inhibits the relaxation activity of heterodimeric type IB topoisomerase of L. donovani and acts as a non-competitive inhibitor interacting with both subunits of the enzyme. Niranthin also exhibits anti-hepatitis B virus, antiinflammatory and antiallodynic actions.

Bacopasaponin C may have antioxidant activity, it also shows anti-leishmanial property.

Lyoniside and saracoside are cytotoxic to promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, they demonstrate strong anti-leishmanial efficacies in BALB/c mice model of leishmaniasis, suggests that these two compounds potential anti-leishmanial candidates. The

Hederacolchiside A1 (Raddeanoside R13) shows anti-leishmanial activity, it exhibits a strong antiproliferative activity on all stages of development of the parasite by altering membrane integrity and potential. Hederacolchiside A1 shows antiproliferation activities in three cancer cell lines with the IC50 value of 2.4 uM, it exhibits a preferential cytotoxicity on a pigmented melanoma cell line. It suppresses proliferation of tumor cells by inducing apoptosis through modulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Cuniloside B shows anti-leishmanial activity.
