nontoxic

Zingerone (Vanillylacetone) is a nontoxic methoxyphenol isolated from Zingiber officinale, with potent anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeic, antilipolytic, antispasmodic and anti-tumor properties. Zingerone(Gingerone) alleviates oxidative stress and inflammation, down-regulates NF-κB mediated signaling pathways. Zingerone(Gingerone) acts as an anti-mitotic agent, and inhibits the growth of neuroblastoma cells.

Vanillyl butyl ether (Butyl vanillyl ether) (VBE)is a capsaicin analogue,induce sensory irritation in humans,Vanillyl butyl ether is an alkoxy-substituted benzyl derivative mainly used as a flavoring agent.

1. Dihydrochelerythrine (12,13-Dihydrochelerythrine) is nontoxic up to 5μM concentration. 2. Dihydrochelerythrine has antifungal activity against pathogenic plant fungi. 3. Dihydrochelerythrine has potential application in the therapy of serious infection caused by I. multifiliis. 4. Dihydrochelerythrine affects cell cycle distribution, activates mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, and induces apoptosis and necrosis in HL-6 cells.

Aloin B (Isobarbaloin) is an isomer of aloin.1. The extract of A. vera and its active ingredient aloin cause melanin aggregation leading to skin lightening via alpha adrenergic receptor stimulation, the result opens new vistas for the use of A. vera regarding its clinical application as a new nontoxic melanolytic agent for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. 2. Dietary supplementation of aloe components (aloin, aloesin and aloe-gel) can ameliorate intestinal inflammatory responses in a 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis rat model, in particular, aloesin is the most potent inhibitor.

Lusianthridin is a natural product from Dendrobium venustum. Lusianthridin exhibits anti-migratory property at nontoxic concentrations. Lusianthridin enhances c-Myc degradation through the inhibition of Src-STAT3 signaling.

(+)-Cembrene A, a nontoxic α-glucosidase inhibitor to human normal hepatocyte (LO2) cells, exhibits an IC50 value of 30.31 μM.

δ-Tocotrienol (Delta-Tocotrienol) is a potential angiogenic inhibitor. δ-Tocotrienol is also a nontoxic activator of mir-34a which can inhibit nonsmall cell lung cancer cells (NSC-LC) cell proliferation, induce apoptosis and inhibit invasion, and thus offering a potential starting point for the design of novel anticancer agents.
