Afzelin (Kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside)It is a flavonol glycoside that has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress response, anti-apoptotic, and anti-cardiac cytotoxic effects. AfzelinIt can reduce mitochondrial damage, enhance mitochondrial biosynthesis, and reduce mitochondria-related proteins. Parkinand PTENinduced putative kinase 1 (putative kinase 1)s level. AfzelinCan be improved D-galactosamine(GalN)/LPSSurvival rate of mice treated with doxorubicin prophylaxis (HY-15142A)Induced cardiotoxicity and scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced neurological injury. AfzelinAlso inhibits asthma and allergies caused by ovalbumin.

Daurisoline is a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that can be isolated from Menispermum dauricum and Rhizoma Menispermi. Daurisoline exerts a blocking effect on hERG and has antiarrhythmic effects. Daurisoline is a potent autophagy blocker that can be used for the research of cancer.

Trifluoperazine, an antipsychotic agent, acts by blocking central dopamine receptors. Trifluoperazine is a potent α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Trifluoperazine is a potent NUPR1 inhibitor exerting anticancer activity. Trifluoperazine is a calmodulin inhibitor, and also inhibits P-glycoprotein. Trifluoperazine can be used for the research of schizophrenia. Trifluoperazine acts as a reversible inhibitor of influenza virus morphogenesis.

Megestrol acetate is a synthetic and orally active progesteronal agent. Megestrol acetate is effective as an appetite stimulant for wasting syndromes such as cachexia. Megestrol acetate decreases nuclear and cytosol androgen receptors human BPH tissue. Megestrol acetate has the potential for HIV study and downregulates autophagic catabolic pathway.

Pantoprazole sodium (BY10232 sodium) is an orally active and potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Pantoprazole sodium, a substituted benzimidazole, is a potent H⁺/K⁺-ATPase inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 6.8 μM. Pantoprazole sodium improves pH stability and has anti-secretory, anti-ulcer activities. Pantoprazole sodium significantly increased tumor growth delay combined with Doxorubicin (HY-15142).

Acesulfame potassium is a synthetic sweetener. Long-term use of Acesulfame potassium can affect cognitive function, possibly by altering the neurometabolic functions in mice. Acesulfame potassium can suppress autophagic degradation of PD-L1 in RIL-175 and SK-Hep1 cells through the ERK1/2-mTORC1-ULK1 pathway, which may be related to immune evasion in cancer cells. Acesulfame potassium can be used in research on neurological diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, and immune evasion.

Bergenin is a cytoprotective and antioxidative polyphenol found in many medicinal plants. Bergenin has a wide spectrum activities such as hepatoprotective, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
