Albanol B is an arylbenzofuran derivative which can be isolated from mulberries. Albanol B exhibits anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-bacterial and antioxidant activities. Albanol B inhibits cancer cells proliferation, down-regulates CDK1 expression. Albanol B also induces cell cycle arrest at G2/M and apoptosis. And Albanol B induces mitochondrial ROS production and increases the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK1/2.

(-)-Hinesol (Hinesol) is a potent anticancer agent. (-)-Hinesol induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. (-)-Hinesol downregulates MEK/ERK pathway and NF-κB pathway and mediates theexpression of cyclin D1, Bax and Bcl-2. (-)-Hinesol has the potential for the research of non–small cell lung cancer.

Xanthiazone is a thiazinedione.
