Glyasperin C acts as a partial estrogen antagonist, it shows tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC (50) = 0.13 +/- 0.01 microg/mL), it could be a promising candidate in the design of skin-whitening agents. Glyasperin C shows potent anti-vancomycin-resistant Enterococci effects (MIC 1.9 × 10-5-4.5 × 10-5 M for E. faecium and E. faecalis).

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an anionic nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective epithelial and neural tissues. It is unique among glycosaminoglycans in that it is nonsulfated forms in the plasma membrane instead of the Golgi and can be very large with its molecular weight often reaching the millions.
