Cardamonin can be found from cardamom, and can target various signaling molecules, transcriptional factors, cytokines and enzymes. Cardamonin can inhibit mTOR, NF-κB, Akt, STAT3, Wnt/β-catenin and COX-2. Cardamonin shows anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antidiabetic activities.

Panduratin A is an orally active natural compound with multiple pharmacological activities. By specifically inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, Panduratin A exerts potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in intestinal and vascular inflammation models. Panduratin A exerts a definite protective effect against Colistin (HY-113678)-induced nephrotoxicity by alleviating oxidative stress, improving mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Panduratin A activates autophagy via an AMPK-dependent pathway and exhibits anti-tuberculosis activity. Panduratin A exerts antiviral effects by inhibiting the methyltransferase (DNA Methyltransferase) of SARS-CoV-2.

Boesenbergin A is a natural chalcone compound found in Boesenbergia pandurata Schl.
