Magnolin reduces the renal oxidative stress, suppresses caspase-3 activity, and increases Bcl-2 expression in vivo and in vitro. Magnolin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects.

1. Eriocitrin (Eriodictyol-7-O-Rutinoside) is powerful antioxidative flavonoid; (1) Prevents oxidative damages caused by acute exercise-induced oxidative stress.(2) Lipid-lowering effects in a rat model of high-fat diet. 2. Dietary Eriocitrin ameliorates diet-induced hepatic steatosis with activation of mitochondrial biogenesis. 3. Eriocitrin and Apigenin were identified as new potent inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase VA isozyme.

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

Fraxetin (7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy coumarin) has dual-antioxidative ,hepatoprotective and antihyperglycemic functions, it shows potent protective effects against CCl4 induced oxidative stress and hepatic fibrosis, has a marked inhibitory effect on S.aureus proliferation. It increased the level of Nrf2/ARE, and HO-1, inhibit the formation of ROS, cytochrome c release, activation of caspase-3 and 9, and suppressed the up-regulation of Bax.

Calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (calycosin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) possesses a protective effect on rat hepatocytes, an inhibitory effect on COX-2 activity. Calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucoside has antimicrobial activity. Calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucoside is a promising anti-HIV agent. It shows scavenging activity to DPPH radicals and superoxide anion. Calycosin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside possesses an alleviating effect on osteoarthritis and can increase the fluidity of brain cell membrane in ischemia-reperfusion rats.
