MK-886 is an inhibitor of leukotriene biosynthesis, inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP). It is also a moderately potent PPARα antagonist.

Artanin displays promising inhibition against both MSSA and MRSA with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 8-64 ug/ml, but very weak against Gram-negative pathogen and yeast with MICs of 256 to ≥1024 ug/ml.

Isoscoparin-7-O-glucoside is a flavonoid compound found in barley leaves. The total phenolic content (TPC) of isoscoparin-7-O-glucoside is positively correlated with COX-2 inhibitory activity, indicating anti-inflammatory activity. Isoscoparin-7-O-glucoside can be used in the study of inflammation.
