Oxazolone has been used as a haptenizing agent which can induce an inflammatory reaction in adult zebrafish intestinal tissues and this can be used as a model for gene expression studies of the two forms of inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Tellimagrandin II (Eugeniin), with oral activity, is the first intermediate of the ellagitannin series derived from 4C1-glucose. It inhibits the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus by disrupting the integrity of the cell wall, leading to the loss of cytoplasmic contents. Additionally, Tellimagrandin II exhibits anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, improving memory impairment. Tellimagrandin II holds potential for research in the fields of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases.
