Mogroside III-A2 exhibits inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 346-400 mol ratio/32 pmol TPA. and shows weak inhibitory effects on activation of (+/-)-(E)-methyl-2-[(E)-hydroxyimino]-5-nitro-6-methoxy-3-hexemide (NOR 1), a nitric oxide (NO) donor.

SPI-112, the SPI-112 methyl ester analog, can inhibit cellular Shp2 PTP activity. SPI-112 bound to Shp2 by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and displayed competitive inhibitor kinetics to Shp2.
