4-Oxododecanedioic acid is a fatty acid derivative.

Tricetin 3',4',5'-trimethyl ether (5,7-Dihydroxy-3',4',5'-trimethoxyflavone) is a flavone glucoside, that can be isolated the flowers of Chrysanthemum sinensea. Tricetin 3',4',5'-trimethyl ether displays xanthine oxidase competitive-type inhibitory activity, with an IC₅₀ of 0.51 μM and a K_i of 0.37 μM.

Adiantum capillus extract has multiple uses and can be used for respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin diseases. It also exhibits antibacterial activity against various pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

(2R,3R)-Pterosin L 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside is an glucoside compound found in the aerial parts of Pteris multifida. (2R,3R)-Pterosin L 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside shows cytotoxicity against cancer cells. (2R,3R)-Pterosin L 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside can be used for the research of cancer, such as human epidermoid carcinoma.

Pteroside M (Conpound 3) is a pterosin found in Pteris wallichiana J. Agardh.

Creticoside A is a natural diterpene.

2β,15α-Dihydroxy-ent-kaur-16-ene is a natural diterpene.

(2S,3S)-Pteroside C is a natural sesquiterpene.

(2R,3S)-Pteroside C is a natural sesquiterpene.

ent-9-Hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester is a natural diterpene.

1H-2,10a-Ethanophenanthrene, kaur-16-en-18-oic acid deriv. is a derivated compound isolated from the Pteridaceae plants of Costa Rica .

22E-7α-Methoxy-5α,6α-epoxyergosta-8(14),22-dien-3β-ol is a natural steroid.

Pterisolic acid D is a natural diterpene.

(2S,3S)-Pterosin S 14-O-glucoside is a sesquiterpene glycoside compound that can be isolated from the fern Pteris multifida. (2S,3S)-Pterosin S 14-O-glucoside showed no significant cytotoxicity against A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), LOVO (colon adenocarcinoma), PANC-1 (human pancreatic cancer), and NCI-H446 (human small cell lung cancer) cell lines (IC₅₀ > 100 μM).

Pterisolic acid B (Compound 2) is an ent-Kaurane diterpenoid. Pterisolic acid B can be isolated from fern Pteris semipinnata (Pteridaceae).

Filicenol B can be isolated from the whole plant of Adiantum lunulatum. Filicenol B has antibacterial activity.

(2S,3S)-Pterosin C is a natural sesquiterpenoid compound.

ent-11α-Hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid is an anti-melanin synthesis tyrosinase inhibitor, which can be isolated from Pteris fern. ent-11α-Hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid regulates the melanogenesis transcription factor microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). The 11α-OH, 15-oxo and 16-en moieties of ent-11α-Hydroxy-15-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid are key fragments that inhibit melanin synthesis. The 19-COOH moiety has been implicated in the inhibition of cytotoxicity associated with 11α-OH KA and related compounds.

Pterosin D is a sesquiterpenoid, that can be isolated from aerial plants of P. cretica.

Norpterosin C is a neopentane diterpene isolated fromPteris semipinnata.
