Tocopherols are orally effective antioxidants and ferroptosis inhibitors. Tocopherols scavenge ROS/RNS, alleviate DNA damage, downregulate cyclin D1/c-Myc/TFF/pS2/PGR in an ER-dependent manner, and inhibit ferroptosis mediated by lipid peroxidation. Tocopherols block the occurrence of ferroptosis in Gpx4-knockout Pfa1 cells, with an EC₅₀ value of 1.0-2.3 μM. Tocopherols inhibit tumor growth. Tocopherols can be used in studies related to estrogen-mediated ER⁺ breast cancer, oxidative stress-induced carcinogenesis, and ferroptosis regulation.

Harmalidine is a natural alkaloid.

Komaroidine is a bactericidal agent. Komaroidine induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts in bacterial cells, disrupts antioxidant enzyme function and redox homeostasis, increases membrane permeability, and triggers bacterial apoptosis. Komaroidine suppresses bacterial burden within infected plant tissues.Komaroidine exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against phytopathogenic bacteria including Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae. Komaroidine can be used for the research of rice bacterial leaf blight.

N9-Methylharman is a Alkaloids product that can be isolated from the herbs of Peganum harmala L..

Harmalol is a β-carbazine alkaloid with anticancer activity. Harmalol binds and interacts with several natural and synthetic nucleic acids of different motifs, including DNA and RNA. In addition, harmalol has an apoptosis-inducing effect on human hepatoma cells in vitro.
