Isatis tinctoria L.

Erucic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), is isolated from the seed of Raphanus sativus L. Erucic acid can readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), it has been reported to normalize the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids in the brain. Erucic acid can improve cognitive impairment and be effective against dementia.

1-Methoxyindole-3-carboxylic acid (compound 5) is synthetic from a phytoalexin nucleophilic substitution reaction selectively at the 2-position.

Indigoticoside A is a phenylpropanoid lignan natural product that can be found in the traditional Chinese medicine Banlangen (Isatis indigotica Fort.), with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Indigoticoside A scavenges DPPH free radicals, superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner, exhibiting significant in vitro antioxidant effects. The blood-absorbed components of Banlangen containing Indigoticoside A inhibit LPS (HY-D1056)-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages and reduce the production of inflammatory mediators such as NO, PGE₂ and TNF-α.

Glucobrassicin is an indole-based anticancer agent and plant growth-regulating hormone. Glucobrassicin exerts its biological activity by disrupting the integrity of microtubule networks in both plant and mammalian cells. At high concentrations, Glucobrassicin inhibits seed germination and root growth; it can also specifically induce apoptosis in mammalian cancer cells and interfere with the intercellular transmission of viruses that rely on microtubules. In plants, Glucobrassicin can be catalyzed by myrosinase to release growth-regulating substances, exhibiting a concentration-dependent growth-regulating effect.
