Eclalbasaponin I has anti-oxidative, and antitumor activities, it reduces oxidative stress-induced neural cell death by autophagy activation.

Ganoderenic acid A has a potent hepatoprotective, and cytotoxic effects, it shows inhibitory activity on human aldose reductase in vitro.From the acidic fraction, potent human aldose reductase inhibitors, ganoderic acid C2 (1) and Ganoderenic acid A (2), were isolated together with three related compounds.

Isovalerylglycine (IVG) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. In certain cases the measurement of these metabolites in body fluids can be used to diagnose disorders associated with mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation.
