1-Kestose shows significant anti-hydroxyl radical potential. 1-Kestose can promote intestinal Lactobacillus number and influence the microorganisms as well as the intestinal and systemic immune responses.

Histrelin acetate is a nonapeptide analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with added potency. It acts on particular cells of the pituitary gland called gonadotropes when present in the bloodstream. Histrelin stimulates these cells to release luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus it is considered a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or GnRH agonist.

Narchinol B (Compound 4) is a sesquiter penoid compound. Narchinol B has anti-inflammatory effects. Narchinol B works by inhibiting proinflammatory mediators, including prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) proteins,as well as proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1b, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Narchinol B significantly inhibits LPS-induced overproduction of NO in BV2 cells (IC50=2.43 μM).
