Curcumin (Natural Yellow 3) is a phenolic natural product, an inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase p300 CREB (IC50=25 μM) with specificity. Curcumin has a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Bisdemethoxycurcumin (Curcumin III) is a natural demethoxy derivative of curcumin. It is a potent activator of macrophage phagocytosis, interacting with 1α, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 to stimulate amyloid-β clearance by macrophages (optimal stimulation at 100 nM BDMC) [1]. More stable than curcumin in physiological media, BDMC suppresses proliferation of cancer cells [2]. It down-regulates the transcriptional coactivator p300, suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and inhibits LPS induction of iNOS expression [3].

Anacardic Acid (6-pentadecylsalicylic Acid) is an effective inhibitor of p300 and p300 CBP-associated factor histone acetyltranferases. It also has antimicrobial activity, antibacterial activity, and inhibits prostaglandin synthase, lipoxygenase, and tyrosinase.

3',6-Disinapoylsucrose (Disinapoyl sucrose) shows the neuroprotective effect and antidepressive activity in rats.

Astramembrangenin (Cycloastragenol (Astramembrangenin)) is a triterpenoid saponin compound and a hydrolysis product of the main active ingredient in Astragalus membranaceus. Cycloastragenol (CAG) may have a novel therapeutic role in depression
