Oxypeucedanin hydrate is a furanocoumarin. It has a role as a metabolite.

In cells D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is generated when glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase or glucokinase or by the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase during glycogenolysis. G6P lies at the beginning of both glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathways. It also can be stored as glycogen when blood glucose levels are high.

Gelsevirine is the major alkaloid in Gelsemium elegans with potent anxiolytic effects.
