Convolvulaceae

D-(+)-Fucose is a nonmetabolizable analogue of l-arabinose. D-(+)-Fucose prevents growth of Escherichia coli B/r on a mineral salts medium plus l-arabinose by inhibiting induction of the l-arabinose operon. D-fucose is a potent inducer of beta-methylgalactoside permease (MGP).

3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-triCQA) inhibits tumor necrosis factor-α-stimulated production of inflammatory mediators in keratinocytes via suppression of Akt- and NF-κB-pathways. 3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid induces cell cycle arrest at G0/G1, actin cytoskeleton organization, chromatin remodeling, neuronal differentiation, and bone morphogenetic protein signaling in human neural stem cells. 3,4,5-Tricaffeoylquinic acid has the potential for the research of aging-associated diseases.

Dihydrorotenone is an insecticide and irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. Dihydrorotenone may induce Parkinson's disease. Dihydrorotenone induces apoptosis in human plasma cells by triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and activating the p38 signaling pathway. The oral LD₅₀ of dihydrorotenone in rats is approximately 2.5 g/kg. Dihydrorotenone exhibits insecticide activity and cytotoxicity to plasma cells. Dihydrorotenone can be used to establish animal models of Parkinson's disease, safety assessment of natural pesticides, and potential cancer chemoprevention studies.

Nortropine (Nortropenol), isolated from the total alkaloids of Convolvulus subhirsutus, is an intermediate in tropine breakdown and reactions leading to succinate.

Muristerone A is a phytoecdysteroid analog of ecdysone and a potent agonist of ecdysteroid receptor with a K_d of 1 nM.

Erycibe obtusifolia polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Erycibe obtusifolia.

Convolvulus arvensis polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Convolvulus arvensis.

Ipomoea nil polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Ipomoea nil.

Convolamine is a tropane alkaloid and a potent Sigma-1 receptor positive allosteric modulator with an IC₅₀ value of 289 nM. Convolamine can be extracted from Convolvulus plauricalis. Convolamine exhibits cognitive-improving and neuroprotective properties. Convolamine can be used in research related to Wolfram syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.

Cyanidin 3-sophoroside-5-glucoside is the main anthocyanin in purple-fleshed sweet potato and affects the antioxidant activity of purple-fleshed sweet potato.

1,11b-Dihydro-11b-hydroxymaackiain, a pterocarpane extract from the stems of Erycibe expansa, show a hepatoprotective effect.

Dioscorea opposita polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Dioscorea opposita.

Cuscuta chinensis polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Cuscuta chinensis.

Ardisia japonica polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Ardisia japonica.

Ipomoea batatas polysaccharide is a polysaccharide derived from Ipomoea batatas.

Hexadecyl (E)-ferulate is a natural phenylacetylene.

N-Phenethylcinnamamide is a natural alkaloid.

Gibberellin A34 is a Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) inhibitor that can be isolated from immature seeds of Calonyction aculeatum. Gibberellin A34 can be used for studies on plant growth and development regulation.

Setoclavine (Compound 2) is a ergot alkaloid. Setoclavine can be isolated from fungi Clavicipitaceae.
