Umbellulone is an active constituent of the leaves of Umbellularia californica. Umbellulone stimulates the TRPA1 channel in a subset of peptidergic, nociceptive neurons, activating the trigeminovascular system via this mechanism.

Kumatakenin is an orally active apoptosis inducer and autophagy inhibitor, with a K_d value of 2.94 μM for mouse ATG5. Kumatakenin increases the activities of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9, thereby inducing caspase-dependent apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Kumatakenin reduces the expression of chemokines and pro-oncogenic factors in ovarian cancer cells, and inhibits M2 macrophage polarization. Kumatakenin inactivates TRIM65 function, reduces the expression and stability of FASN, and thus inhibits the proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor progression of esophageal cancer cells. Kumatakenin interacts with ATG5 to reduce its protein level, decrease LC3 level, and reduce the number of autophagosomes in the hippocampus. Kumatakenin binds to Eno3 to upregulate its expression, reduce the stability and expression level of IRP1 mRNA, inhibit ferroptosis, alleviate intestinal inflammation, and restore epithelial barrier function. Kumatakenin enhances the efficacy of antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication, and reduces cytokine production. Kumatakenin is applicable to research related to ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, depression and colitis.

Geministatin B is a potent antibiotic that can be found in the fungus Austroacremonium gemini MST-FP2131. Geministatin B exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Geministatin B can be used for the research of bacterial infections.

Guavenoic acid is a triterpenoid compound that can be isolated from fresh leaves of Psidium guajava. Guavenoic acid protects cells in cellular oxidative damage models, inhibits intracellular ROS production, and suppresses cell apoptosis. Guavenoic acid significantly enhances cellular proliferation, promotes insulin synthesis and secretion, and upregulates the messenger RNA expression of insulin gene, PDX-1 and MafA. Guavenoic acid can be used in the research of diseases such as pancreatic islet β-cell tumors.

α-Terpineol (with oral activity) can be found in Eucalyptus globulus Labill. α-Terpineol exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against periodontopathic and cariogenic bacteria.α-Terpineol possesses antifungal activity against T. mentagrophytes, and the activity might lead to irreversible cellular disruption. In addition, α-Terpineol exhibits antineuropathic and anti-inflammatory activities. α-Terpineol can be utilized in research related to diarrhea, neuropathic pain, infections, and inflammation.

Quercetin 3-O-(6''-galloyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside is from the fresh leaves of Psidium Guajava L..

Eugenol acetate (Eugenyl acetate) is an antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Eugenol acetate inhibits NF-κB and enhances the expression of p53 and p21 (WAF1). Eugenol acetate can prevent chemically induced skin cancer, inhibit cancer cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.

Bevirimat (PA-457, MPC-4326, YK FH312) is an inhibitor of HIV-1 viral particle maturation.Bevirimat specifically inhibits the final rate-limiting step in Gag processing, preventing the release of the mature capsid protein (CA) from its precursor (CA-SP1), resulting in the production of immature non-infectious viral particles. Bevirimat can be used in HIV-1 infection studies.

Eugenol (Standard) is the analytical standard of Eugenol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Eugenol is an essential oil found in cloves with antibacterial, anthelmintic and antioxidant activity. Eugenol is shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation.

Cycloeucalenol is a triterpenoid compound derived from Eucalyptus microcorys.

(-)-Myrtenol is the enantiomer of Myrtenol. (-)-Myrtenol has anti-anxiety effect. (-)-Myrtenol has the characteristics of gastric cell protection.

(-)-α-Terpineol ((S)-α-Terpineol), a monoterpene compound, is one of compounds in Melaleuca alternifolia. (-)-α-Terpineol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Leptospermone is a competitive, reversible inhibitor for p-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), with an IC₅₀ of 12.1 μM. Leptospermone exhibits herbicidal activity for its bleaching effect.

Aromadendrene can be isolated from Eucalyptus globulus. Aromadendrene has antimicrobial activity.

Adamantane is a polycyclic cage molecule with high symmetry and remarkable properties. Adamantane can be incorporated into a lipophilic part of the lipid bilayer that constitutes membranes and as an anchor in the lipid bilayer of liposomes. Adamantane can be studied in pharmacological research to improve the lipophilicity and pharmacological properties of other active products.

Myricetin 3'-glucoside is an orally active glycosylated flavonoid. Myricetin 3'-glucoside inhibits the cerebral ischemia-induced elevation of inflammatory cytokine levels, including TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β. Myricetin 3'-glucoside reverses the cerebral ischemia-mediated downregulation of Bcl-2 protein levels and reduces the cerebral ischemia-induced upregulation of Bax protein levels. Myricetin 3'-glucoside reduces cerebral infarct volume, increases the number of Nissl bodies, and improves neurological function scores in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Myricetin 3'-glucoside can be used in cerebral ischemia-related research.
