trans-Cinnamaldehyde can be used to prepare highly polyfunctionalized furan ring by reaction of alkyl isocyanides with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate. trans-Cinnamaldehyde can be used to synthesize trans-cinnamaldehyde -β-cyclodextrin complex, an antimicrobial edible coating that increases the shelf life of fresh-cut fruits.

trans-Cinnamic acid is a natural antimicrobial, with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 250 μg/mL against fish pathogen A. sobria, SY-AS1.

Boldine is an apomorphine isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the root of the pheasant pepper (Litsea cubeba). Boldine is an oral effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor agent, and can inhibit osteoclast formation. Boldine induces apoptosis of human bladder cancer cells by regulating ERK, AKT and GSK-3β. Boldine ameliorates bone destruction by down-regulating the OPG/RANKL/RANK signaling pathway. It can be used in rheumatoid arthritis research.

Camphor ((±)-Camphor) is a topical anti-infective and anti-pruritic and internally as a stimulant and carminative. However, Camphor is poisonous when ingested. Antiviral, antitussive, and anticancer activities. Camphor is a TRPV3 agonist.

Higenamine hydrochloride is a selective LSD1 inhibitor (IC₅₀=1.47 μM) that can be isolated from aconite. Higenamine hydrochloride has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity. Higenamine (Norcoclaurine) can attenuate IL-1β-induced Apoptosis through ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Higenamine hydrochloride protects brain cells from oxygen deprivation. Higenamine can promote bone formation in osteoporosis through the SMAD2/3 pathway. Higenamine hydrochloride can be used to study cancer, inflammation, cardiorenal syndrome and other diseases.

2-Acetyl-5-methylfuran is a growth inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, exhibiting an in vitro anti-tubercular activity with an MIC of 322.58 μM. 2-Acetyl-5-methylfuran demonstrates high safety and can be used for research related to tuberculosis.

2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde (o-Methoxycinnamaldehyde) is a natural compound that can be isolated from Cinnamomum cassia. 2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde inhibits topoisomerase-I/II and NF-κB signaling pathway, causes mitochondrial dysfunction, induces lysosomal vesiculation, thereby leading to DNA damage and cell apoptosis. 2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde exhibits antitumor effects.

(E)-2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde ((E)-o-Methoxycinnamaldehyde) is a tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 0.42 mM for mushroom tyrosinase. (E)-2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde is found in the twigs of Cinnamomum cassia. (E)-2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde can be used for the research of Parkinson's disease.

2-Hydroxycinnamic acid is a phenolic acid with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. 2-Hydroxycinnamic acid has antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and is not susceptible to drug resistance. 2-Hydroxycinnamic acid shows inhibitory effects on infection of HIV/SARS-CoV S pseudovirus with an IC₅₀ of 0.3 mM. In addition, 2-Hydroxycinnamic acid has neuroprotective and antitumor activity.

Avicularin is an orally active flavonoid. Avicularin inhibits NF-κB (p65), COX-2 and PPAR-γ activities. Avicularin has anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious anti-allergic, anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, and anti-tumor activities.

D-Mannoheptulose is a 7-carbon keto sugar found in avocado. D-mannoheptulose is a specific inhibitor of D-glucose phosphorylation by hexokinase isoenzymes. D-Mannoheptulose can block insulin release and utilization of carbohydrate in rat. D-Mannoheptulose has various functions as anti-oxidants, anticancer effects and energy sources.

Coclaurine is a class of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids that can be isolated from Sarcopetalum harveyanum with anticancer activity. Coclaurine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) antagonist. Coclaurine is a key molecule in S. tetrandra responsible for EFHD2 inhibition. Coclaurine can downregulate EFHD2-related NOX4-ABCC1 signaling and enhanced Cisplatin (HY-17394) sensitivity. Coclaurine suppresses the stemness and metastatic properties of NSCLC cells. Coclaurine disrupts the interaction between the transcription factor FOXG1 and the EFHD2 promoter, leading to a reduction in EFHD2 transcription.
