Spermidine (N-(3-Aminopropyl)-1,4-diaminobutane) inhibits NOS1 (nNOS). Spermidine binds and precipitates DNA and may be used for purification of DNA binding proteins. Spermidine activates PNK (polynucleotide kinase T4). Spermidine binds to and activates NMDA and has been shown to potentiate NMDA-induced currents in a concentration-dependent manner.

Tert-OMe-byakangelicin is a coumarin known to potentiate adrenaline-induced lipolysis and impede insulin-mediated triglyceride synthesis from glucose in adipocytes [1].

Cinobufotalin is a main cardiac toxin in toad, it is a novel anti-HCC agent, it induces growth inhibition and apoptosis in cultured HCC cells through ceramide production. Cinobufotalin is also an effective reversal agent for the multidrug resistance of tu

Torilin is an inhibitor of testosterone 5 alpha-reductase, it (IC50 = 31.7 +/- 4.23 microM) shows a stronger inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase than alpha-linolenic acid (IC50 = 160.3 +/- 24.62 microM) but is weaker than finasteride (IC50 = 0.38 +/- 0.06 microM). Torilin has immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties, it inhibits inflammation by limiting TAK1-mediated MAP kinase and NF-κB activation, it can attenuate arthritis severity, modify leukocyte activations in dLNs or joints, and restore serum and splenocyte cytokine imbalances. Torilin inhibits melanin production in alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone-activated B16 melanoma cells, with an IC(50) value of 25 microM. Torilin shows excellent antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 spores and vegetative cells. Torilin has a potent anti-angiogenic activity both in vivo and in vitro, and it may have a strong activity to suppress tumorigenesis by inhibition of tumor invasion, it reverses multidrug-resistance in cancer cells, it can potentiate the cytotoxicities of adriamycin, vinblastine, taxol and colchicine against multidrug-resistant KB-V1 and MCF7/ADR cells.

Edgeworin is a DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) inhibitor, it inhibits both the lyase and polymerase activities of DNA polymerase beta; it can potentiate the inhibitory action of the anticancer drug bleomycin in cultured A549 cells via an inhibition of DNA

Wallichinine shows inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation caused by platelet activating factor (PAF). Wallichinine with ABCB1 presents valuable clues for the development of novel MDR reversal reagents from natural products, wallichinine can significa

cis-Nerolidol, a sesquiterpene alcohol present in numerous plants, exhibits antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Additionally, it can potentiate the effects of antibiotics [1].

Mesuol has antioxidant activity, it shows very high scavenging activity against DPPH radical; it also has immunomodulatory activity, can potentiate percentage neutrophil adhesion in neutrophil adhesion test in rats and phagocytosis in carbon clearance assay. Mesuol can suppress HIV-1 replication in Jurkat T cells, it inhibits TNFα-induced HIV-1-LTR transcriptional activity by targeting the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway.

1. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) possess anti-anxiety, and neuroprotective qualities. 2. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) reatment can induce a sustained activation of JNK, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPKs, it also can potentiate the pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of bortezomib in U266 cells. 3. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) has anti-inflammatory activity in activated macrophages, raising the possibility that this compound has a therapeutic potential for inflammatory conditions. 4. 2,5-Dihydroxyacetophenone (Quinacetophenone) is an uncompetitive inhibitor of murine tyrosinase (K(I) 0.28mm), it strongly inhibits both melanogenesis and cellular tyrosinase activity in vitro in 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthin-stimulated B16 mouse melanoma cells or in vivo in zebrafish and mouse models.

Chrysosplenol D, an efflux pump inhibitor that can potentiate the activity of commercially important antibiotics and antimalarials.
