Icaritin (Anhydroicaritin) is a prenylflavonoid derivative from Epimedium brevicornuMaxim. and potently inhibits proliferation of K562 cells (IC₅₀ of 8 µM) and primary CML cells (IC₅₀ of 13.4 µM for CML-CP and 18 µM for CML-BC). Icaritin can regulate MAPK/ERK/JNK and JAK2/STAT3 /AKT signalings, also enhances osteogenesis^[3.

Baohuoside I, a flavonoid isolated from Epimedium koreanum Nakai, acts as an inhibitor of CXCR4, downregulates CXCR4 expression, induces apoptosis and shows anti-tumor activity.

Oxonantenine is an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the seeds of Nandina domestica that exhibits cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Oxonantenine binds to proteins associated with the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, including JUN, MAPK1, p38, MAPK3, ERK, JNK3, and p65. Oxonantenine is one of the main components of Fangji Huangqi Tang. Oxonantenine can be used in studies related to non-small cell lung cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

Baohuosu is an extract found in abalone cooking broth. Baohuosu contains soluble polysaccharides, polypeptides, free amino acids, various vitamins and minerals.

Podofilox (Podophyllotoxin) is a potent inhibitor of microtubule assembly and DNA topoisomerase II.

Epimedin A, one of the main flavonoid active components in Herba Epimedii, is orally active. Epimedin A can inhibit osteoclastogenesis, differentiation, and bone resorption. Epimedin A also possesses anti-inflammatory activity. Epimedin A can be used in the research of osteoporosis and inflammatory diseases.

Diphyllin is an orally active V-ATPase inhibitor (IC₅₀=17 nM) and HIV-1 inhibitor (IC₅₀=0.38 μM). Diphyllin blocks the acidification of osteoclast lysosomes and bone resorption lacunas (IC₅₀=0.6 nM for acid influx inhibition)， thereby inhibiting bone resorption. Diphyllin can effectively inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and has no effect on osteoblastic bone formation. Diphyllin can be used in the research of bone metabolism-related diseases and has the potential to inhibit diseases related to excessive bone resorption.

Epmedin C (Epimedin-C; Baohuoside-VI) is an orally active anti-inflammatory agent and immunomodulator that binds to multiple key proteins including UCP1, Caspase-1, CDK2 and Keap1. Epmedin C inhibits epithelial cell proliferation by disrupting the complex function of CDK2/Cyclin E. Epmedin C also upregulates Nrf2 expression, reduces ROS levels and inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, thereby effectively restoring antibody production and alleviating tissue damage. Epmedin C has good safety with no hepatotoxicity or skin sensitization, and it has been used in studies on diseases such as obesity, Deoxynivalenol (HY-N6684)-induced immunotoxicity and mammary hyperplasia.

Etoposide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Etoposide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Etoposide (VP-16; VP-16-213) is an anti-cancer chemotherapy agent. Etoposide inhibits topoisomerase II, thus stopping DNA replication. Etoposide induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy.

Epimedin B, a component extracted from Epimedii Folium, is reported to have antiosteoporotic activity.

Icariside I (GH01) is an orally active metabolite of icalin. Icariside I improves estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis by simultaneously regulating osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation. Icariside I promotes ATP (HY-B2176) or Nigericin (HY-127019)-induced mtROS production and NLRP3 inflammasome activation and causes idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity. Icariside I does not alter the activation of NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes. Icariside I inhibits breast cancer proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis by targeting the IL-6/STAT3 pathway. Icariside I is a kynurenine-AhR pathway inhibitor that alleviates cancer by blocking tumor immune escape.

Columbamine (Columbamin; Dehydroisocorypalmine) chloride is an organic heterotetracyclic alkaloid extracted from plants. Columbamine chloride is a metabolite of Berberine (HY-N0716). Columbamine chloride inhibits the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4 (IC50 = 30.6 µM). Columbamine chloride induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Columbamine chloride can be used for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antifungal, antiparasite, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic study.

Epimedin A1 is a flavonoid extracted from Herba Epimedii which is one of commonly used Chinese medicines.

4'-Demethylpodophyllotoxin is an aryltetralin lignin contained in the root of Podophyllum hexandrum and P. peltatum. 4'-Demethylpodophyllotoxin exhibits cytotoxic potential in diverse cancer cell lines.

Icariin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Icariin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Icariin is a flavonol glycoside. Icariin inhibits PDE5 and PDE4 activities with IC₅₀s of 432 nM and 73.50 μM, respectively. Icariin also is a PPARα activator.

Desmethylicaritin is a phytoestrogenic molecule, has inducible effect on directional differentiation of embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes. Desmethylicaritin also suppresses adipogenesis via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
