[Sar1, Ile8]-Angiotensin II is a peptide that has multiple effects on vascular smooth muscle, including contraction of normal arteries and hypertrophy or hyperplasia of cultured cells or diseased vessels. The biological activities of angiotensin II antagonists upon basal and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone production were evaluated in an isolated canine glomerulosa cell preparation.

Chrysophanol 8-O-glucoside and chrysophanol have mild cytotoxicity and anti-diabetic properties and can play metabolic roles in the insulin-stimulated glucose transport pathway.

ML188 is a selective noncovalent SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitor(IC50 : 1.5 μM), with moderate MW and good enzyme and antiviral inhibitory activity.
