Lycorine can be used for the study of prostate cancer and metabolic diseases.

Lycorine hydrochloride is the main active ingredient of the herbal medicine derived from Lycoris radiata (L’Her.) Herb. and is also a melanoma vasculogenic inhibitor and has anti-tumor activity. Lycorine hydrochloride effectively inhibits mitotic proliferation of Hey1B cells (IC₅₀ of 1.2 μM).

Galanthamine hydrobromide (Galantamine hydrobromide) is a selective, reversible, competitive, alkaloid AChE inhibitor, with an IC₅₀ of 0.35 µM. Galanthamine hydrobromide is a potent allosteric potentiating ligand (APL) of human α₃β₄, α₄β₂, α₆β₄ nicotinic receptors ( nAChRs). Galanthamine hydrobromide is developed for the research of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Orcinol gentiobioside (compound 4) is a natural product isolated from the rhizomes of C. breviscapa.

trans-2-Methyl-2-butenal (Tiglaldehyde) is an adduct former that can be found in cigarette smoke, and very weakly inhibits growth of cancer cells and normal mouse cells. trans-2-Methyl-2-butenal forms adducts with glutathione (GSH) via Michael addition.trans-2-Methyl-2-butenal is an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound.

Neokestose is an orally active 6G-series fructooligosaccharide with both sucrase inhibitor and antiproliferative activities. Neokestose inhibits the activity of the NF-κB signaling pathway, reduces the expression of cyclin D1 and COX-2, induces apoptosis, and disrupts the cell cycle. Neokestose can be used in research related to melanoma, colorectal cancer, obesity and diabetes.

Macrostemonoside E is a steroidal glycoside present in Allium macrostemon Bunge, which inhibits ADP-induced aggregation of human platelets in vitro (IC₅₀=0.417 mM).

Haemanthamine is a crinine-type alkaloid isolated from the Amaryllidaceae plants with potent anticancer activity. Haemanthamine targets ribosomal that inhibits protein biosynthesis during the elongation stage of translation. Haemanthamine has pro-apoptotic, antioxidant, antiviral, antimalarial and anticonvulsant activities.

Curculigoside is the main saponin in C. orchioide, exerts significant antioxidant, anti-osteoporosis, antidepressant and neuroprotection effects. Curculigoside possesses significant anti-arthritic effects in vivo and in vitro via regulation of the JAK/STAT/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Orcinol glucoside is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable osteoblast proliferation promoter that targets the Nrf2/Keap1, mTOR and p38 signaling pathways. Orcinol glucoside promotes Nrf2 nuclear translocation, upregulates antioxidant enzyme levels, enhances the phosphorylation of mTOR and p70S6K, and inhibits the enzymatic activity of HAS2 as well as the nuclear translocation of GR. Orcinol glucoside also alleviates oxidative stress, inhibits autophagic flux, osteoclastogenesis and TGF-β1-induced M2 polarization, while reducing collagen deposition and effectively promoting the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts. Orcinol glucoside also exhibits anti-pulmonary fibrosis, anxiolytic and antidepressant activities. Orcinol glucoside can be used in the research of senile and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), anxiety and other related diseases.

Allyl methyl trisulfide is a volatile organic compound and a component of garlic (Allium sativum L.) essential oil, which has antibacterial, antioxidant and antitumor activities.

Dihydrolycorine, isolated from Lycoris radiate Herb, is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in eukarytic cells by inhibiting the peptide bone formation step.

Allithiamine is a thiamin derivative with absorption characteristics similar to fat-soluble vitamins. Allithiamine acts as a cofactor precursor for thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), which participates in carbohydrate metabolism by supporting the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex to facilitate pyruvate entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as acetyl CoA. Allithiamine can be used for researching thiamin metabolism.

Curculigoside B, a phenolic glycoside isolated from Curculigo orchioides, enhances the osteoblast proliferation, decreases the area of bone resorption pit, osteoclastic formation and TRAP activity. Antiosteoporotic and antioxidative activities.

Lycorine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Lycorine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Lycorine is a natural alkaloid extracted from the Amaryllidaceae plant. Lycorine is a potent and orally active SCAP inhibitor with a Kd value 15.24 nM. Lycorine downregulates the SCAP protein level without changing its transcription. Lycorine is also a melanoma vasculogenic inhibitor. Lycorine can be used for the study of prostate cancer and metabolic diseases.

S-Allylmercapturic acid is a biomarker of food intake (BFIs) for garlic consumption.

(E)-Ajoene is a oxygenated ajoene and organosulfur compound, which can be acquired via allicin decomposing. The polysulfides from garlic can be converted by human red blood cells into hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and allyl glutathione. (E)-Ajoene has been proved to show neuroprotective effects against ischemic damage. (E)-Ajoene is orally active to inhibit lipid peroxidation. (E)-Ajoene increases the number of cresyl violet-positive neurons and decreases the number of reactive gliosis in the CA1 region.

7-Deoxynarciclasine (compound 2b) can be isolated from Hymenocallis littoralis. 7-Deoxynarciclasine inhibits the cancer cell growth.

Tuberosine B is a spirostanol-type steroid that is isolated from the seeds of Allium tuberosum.
