(2′S)-4′-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-D-glucopyranosylvisamminol is a chromone Glycoside that could be isolated from Roots of Saposhnikovia divaricate. (2′S)-4′-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-D-glucopyranosylvisamminol exhibits weak anti-cancer activity in human cancer cell lines.

4-methylcatechol is a metabolite of homoprotocatechuic acid. It is both a substrate and a suicide inhibitor of Catechol 23-dioxygenase. 4-methylcatechol is known to induce the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Recent studies have suggested that a lack of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the limbic system may cause neuropathic pain.
