Daphnetin triggers ROS-induced cell apoptosis and induces cytoprotective autophagy by modulating the AMPK/Akt/mTOR pathway. Daphnetin has anti-inflammation activitity and inhibits TNF-α, IL-1β, ROS, and MDA production. Daphnetin has schizontocidal activity against malaria parasites. Daphnetin can be used for rheumatoid arthritis , cancer and anti-malarian research.

2-(2-Phenylethyl) chromone (Flidersiachromone) is a chromone derivative and antioxidant. 2-(2-Phenylethyl) chromone scavenges ABTS·⁺ free radicals, and its derivatives exhibit diverse activities including anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-tumor, and α-glucosidase inhibitory effects. 2-(2-Phenylethyl) chromone is applicable to experimental research in fields such as inflammation-related diseases, tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Oleodaphnone is a natural product found in the whole plant of Daphne gracilis E. Pritz.

(Rac, Z)-Confluentin is a meroterpenoid found in the leaves and branches of Daphne genkwa. (Rac, Z)-Confluentin shows cytotoxic against cancer cells.

Broussonin E is a phenolic compound and shows anti-inflammatory activity. Broussonin E can suppress inflammation by modulating macrophages activation statevia inhibiting the ERK and p38 MAPK and enhancing JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway. Broussonin E can be used for the research of inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Agarotetrol is a chromone derivative isolated from Agarwood.

Daphnoretin (Dephnoretin; Thymelol) is a protein kinase C (PKC) activator that inhibits the expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) and exhibits antiviral activity. Daphnoretin exerts its antitumor effects by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and triggers the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Daphnoretin alleviates chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammatory responses by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Daphnoretin regulates the differentiation and maturation of dendritic cells, inhibits their immunostimulatory function by downregulating the phosphorylation level of JNK, and thus exerts a protective effect in skin graft rejection.

Benzylacetone (4-Penylbutan-2-one) is an aromatic compound. Benzylacetone is a mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 2.8 mM, a K_i of 1.25 mM for monophenolase and an IC₅₀ of 0.6 mM, a K_i of 0.39 mM for diphenolase. Benzylacetone inhibits free mushroom tyrosinase and enzyme-substrate complex. Benzylacetone acts as an appetite enhancer via olfactory stimulation, reduces spontaneous locomotor activity, induces weight gain. Benzylacetone exhibits repellent, fumigant, and contact toxicity against Tribolium castaneum adults.

Yuanhuacine (Gnidilatidin), a diterpene from Daphne genkwa, is an effective and highly selective inhibitor of the basal-like 2 (BL2) subtype of TNBC. Yuanhuacine can induce G2/M cell cycle arrest and has broad anti-tumor activity. Yuanhuacine is an orally active DNA damaging agent.

Chamaejasmine is a biflavonoid that can be isolated from the roots of Stellera chamaejasme L. Chamaejasmine has antitumor activity. Chamaejasmine induces cell apoptosis, autophagy and ROS production, and activates the activity of AMPK/mTOR signal pathway.

Agarotetrol (Standard) is the analytical standard of Agarotetrol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Agarotetrol is a chromone derivative isolated from Agarwood.

6-Methoxyflavone is an orally active methoxyflavone. 6-Methoxyflavone suppresses neuroinflammation in microglia through the inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/p38 MAPK/NF-κB dependent pathways and the activation of HO-1/NQO-1 signaling. 6-Methoxyflavone induces S-phase arrest through the CCNA2/CDK2/p21CIP1 signaling pathway in HeLa cells. 6-Methoxyflavone inhibits NFAT Translocation into the nucleus and suppresses T cell activation. 6-Methoxyflavone partially restores chronic ethanol-induced behavioral deficits in mice. 6-Methoxyflavone antagonizes chronic constriction injury and diabetes associated neuropathic nociception expression. 6-Methoxyflavone can be used for the study of cancer, inflammation and neurological diseases.
