Esculetin is an active ingredient extracted mainly from the bark of Fraxinus rhynchophylla. Esculetin inhibits platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) phenotype switching through inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway. Esculetin has antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antitumor activities.

Phillyrin is isolated from Forsythia suspensa Vahl (Oleaceae), has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. Phillyrin has potential inductive effects on rat CYP1A2 and CYP2D1 activities, without affecting CYP2C11 and CYP3A1/2 activities. Phillyrin has anti-influenza A virus activities.

Phillygenin (Phillygenol) is an active ingredient from Forsythia with many medicinal properties, such as antioxidant, reducing blood lipid, inhibition of low density lipoprotein oxidation.

Jasnudifloside F is a secoiridoid glucoside found in the leaves of Jasminum nudiflorum.

Uhdenoside is a secoiridoid. Uhdenoside is isolated from the leaves of Fraxinus uhdei (Oleaceae).

Secologanoside 7-methyl ester (compound 2) is an iridoid glycoside. Secologanoside 7-methyl ester can be found in the leaves of Syringa reticulata.

Forsythoside I is an orally active caffeoyl phenylethanoid glycoside (CPG) that can be isolated from Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl. Forsythoside I has anti-inflammatory activity and can exert a protective effect in a mouse model of acute lung injury.

Isoforsythiaside is an antioxidant and antibacterial phenylethanoid glycoside with MICs of 40.83, 40.83, and 81.66 μg/mL for Escherichia coli(E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAO), and Staphylococcus aureus (SA), respectively.

2-(Aminomethyl)phenol (2-Hydroxybenzylamine) is a selective dicarbonyl scavenger. 2-(Aminomethyl)phenol is an antioxidant and scavanger of free radicals and isolevuglandins (IsoLGs). 2-(Aminomethyl)phenol can prevent early recurrence of atrial fibrillation. 2-(Aminomethyl)phenol can reduce inflammation and plaque apoptotic cells and promote efferocytosis and features of stable plaques. 2-(Aminomethyl)phenol can reduce malondialdehyde (MDA)-LDL and MDA-HDL levels in Ldlr^-/- mouse model. 2-(Aminomethyl)phenol can be studied in the research of inflammation and cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis, early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and arrhythmias.

Fraxetin is isolated from Fraxinus rhynchophylla Hance and has oral bioactivity. Fraxetin has anti-tumor, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Fraxetin can induce cell apoptosis.

Specnuezhenide ((8E)-Nuezhenide) is isolated from the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum. Specnuezhenide ((8E)-Nuezhenide) can inhibit IL-1β-induced inflammation in chondrocytes via inhibition of NF-κB and wnt/β-catenin signaling. Specnuezhenide ((8E)-Nuezhenide) exerts anti-inflammatory effects in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA).

Forsythoside E is a phenylethanoid glycoside compound. Forsythoside E can be isolated from Shuanghuanglian. Forsythoside E does not induce vascular leakage or promote histamine release in mice. Forsythoside E does not cause pseudo-allergic reactions.

Fraxin isolated from Cortex Fraxini, is a glucoside of fraxetin and reported to exert potent anti-oxidative stress action, anti-inflammatory and antimetastatic properties. Fraxin shows its antioxidative effect through inhibition of cyclo AMP phosphodiesterase enzyme.

Forsythoside H, a caffeoyl phenylethanoid glycoside (CPG) isolated from the fruits of Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl, may possesses anti-inflammatory activities.

Ligustroside (Ligstroside), a secoiridoid derivative, has outstanding performance on mitochondrial bioenergetics in models of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) and brain ageing by mechanisms that may not interfere with Aβ production. Ligustroside significantly inhibits nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 macrophages.

Ligustroflavone is an orally active flavonoid compound. Ligustroflavone can be extracted from Ligustrum lucidum. Ligustroflavone antagonizes the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), inhibits the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway, and downregulates TGF-β/Smad signaling. Ligustroflavone regulates calcium metabolism, protects bone tissue, reduces cerebral ischemic injury, and inhibits liver fibrosis. Ligustroflavone can be used in the study of diabetic osteoporosis, ischemic stroke, and liver fibrosis.

Cis-Jasmone is a plant-derived natural product. Cis-Jasmone is constitutively released by many flowers and sometimes by leaves as an attractant for pollinators or as a chemical cue for host location by insect flower herbivores. Cis-Jasmone treatment of crop plants not only induces direct defense against herbivores, but also induces indirect defense by releasing VOCs that attract natural enemies.

(+)-Medioresinol is a furofuran-type lignan with antifungal and antibacterial properties. (+)-Medioresinol synergizes with antibiotics to exert antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects. (+)-Medioresinol induces intracellular ROS accumulation and mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in Candida albicans. (+)-Medioresinol inhibits LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated IL-12p40 production. (+)-Medioresinol is a PGC-1α activator that protects against endothelial cell pyroptosis in ischemic stroke via the PPARα-GOT1 axis. (+)-Medioresinol can be used in research on fungal and bacterial infection, inflammation, and ischemic stroke.
