Lycibarbarphenylpropanoid B is a phenylpropanoid compound derived from wolfberry with antioxidant activity. It exhibits significant oxygen radical absorbance capacity, with an ORAC value of 3.18 μmol Trolox/μmol (Trolox is a standard reference antioxidant, indicating that each μM of Lycibarbarphenylpropanoid B has antioxidant activity equivalent to 3.18 μM Trolox).

DPP-IV-IN-5 is isolated from the fruits of Lycium barbarum. DPP-IV-IN-5 exerts moderate agonistic activities for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ) with EC₅₀ values of 10.09 - 44.26 μM and also presents inhibitory activity on dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPPIV) with an IC₅₀ value of 47.13 μM .
