Des-Leu10-angiotensin I is a nonapeptide that inhibits rabbit lung angiotensin-converting enzyme peptidyl-dipeptide hydrolase with a Ki value of 31 μM, which is generated from angiotensin I by the action of carboxypeptidase-like activities residing in the human platelet and mast cell.

Brandioside shows strong antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects, it significantly attenuates glutamate-induced neurotoxicity at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 microM; it exhibits significant inhibition of advanced glycation end product formation with the IC50 value of 4.6-25.7 μM.
