Convolvulaceae

D-(+)-Fucose is a nonmetabolizable analogue of l-arabinose. D-(+)-Fucose prevents growth of Escherichia coli B/r on a mineral salts medium plus l-arabinose by inhibiting induction of the l-arabinose operon. D-fucose is a potent inducer of beta-methylgalactoside permease (MGP).

3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-triCQA) inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators in keratinocytes via suppression of Akt- and NF-κB-pathways. 3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid induces cell cycle arrest at G0/G1, actin cytoskeleton organization, chromatin remodeling, neuronal differentiation, and bone morphogenetic protein signaling in human neural stem cells. 3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid has the potential for the research of aging-associated diseases.

Dihydrorotenone is an insecticide and irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. Dihydrorotenone may induce Parkinson's disease. Dihydrorotenone induces apoptosis in human plasma cells by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating the p38 signaling pathway. The oral LD₅₀ of dihydrorotenone in rats is approximately 2.5 g/kg. Dihydrorotenone exhibits insecticide activity and cytotoxicity to plasma cells. Dihydrorotenone can be used to establish animal models of Parkinson's disease, safety assessment of natural pesticides, and potential cancer chemoprevention studies.

Nortropine (Nortropenol), isolated from the total alkaloids of Convolvulus subhirsutus, is an intermediate in tropine breakdown and reactions leading to succinate.

Muristerone A is a phytoecdysteroid analog of ecdysone and a potent agonist of ecdysteroid receptor with a K_d of 1 nM.

Hexadecyl (E)-ferulate is a natural phenylacetylene.

N-Phenethylcinnamamide is a natural alkaloid.

Convolamine is an alkaloid found in Convolvulus pluricaulis and an effective positive modulator of the sigma-1 receptor (IC₅₀ = 289 nM), exhibiting cognitive and neuroprotective properties.

Cyanidin 3-sophoroside-5-glucoside is the main anthocyanin in purple-fleshed sweet potato and affects the antioxidant activity of purple-fleshed sweet potato.

1,11b-Dihydro-11b-hydroxymaackiain, a pterocarpane extract from the stems of Erycibe expansa, show a hepatoprotective effect.

Gibberellin A34 is a Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) inhibitor that can be isolated from immature seeds of Calonyction aculeatum. Gibberellin A34 can be used for studies on plant growth and development regulation.

Setoclavine (Compound 2) is a ergot alkaloid. Setoclavine can be isolated from fungi Clavicipitaceae.

Methyl 13-methylpentadecanoate is an ester product.

Ipalbidine is an alkaloid extracted from ipomoea Hardwickki Hemsl. Ipalbidine has dose-dependent analgesic effects.

Calystegine A3 is a natural product that can be isolated from Calystegia sepium.

β,β-Trehalose is a analog of trehalose. β,β-Trehalose can support the growth of shoot tips of Cuscuta. β,β-Trehalose can be cleaved by nonspecific β-glucosidase.

7-Hydroxy-5-methoxycoumarin is a phloroglucinol-type furocoumarins, a potent naturally-occurring insect antifeedant.

(+)-Laudanidine ((S)-Tritopin) is a benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid found in Stephania species.

Phyllalbine is an alkaloid compound found in the roots of Convolvulus subhirsutus, exhibiting both central and peripheral sympathomimetic effects, making it a promising candidate for neurological disease research.
