Grossamide possesses potential anti-inflammatory effects, it also has potential anti-neuroinflammatory effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in BV2 microglia cells. Cis-Grossamide K exerts a particularly strong anti-melanogenic activity on the cells without high cell toxicity.

1-Methylhydantoin is a small molecular weight polar substance the product of degradation of creatinine by bacteria. In mammals the metabolism of 1-methylhydantoin occurs via 5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin. In a reported human case 1-Methylhydantoin was found as an unexpected metabolite of the intelligence-affecting substance dupracetam.
