Wedelolide is a coumarin-like active substance extracted from Ecliptae Herba. It not only has pharmacological effects of anti-pulmo- nary fihosis, anti-arthritis, blood vessel protection and liver protection, but also effectively inhibits the poliferation of cancer cells and induces apoptosis of cancer cells, thereby delaying the further development of malignant tumors. In this paper, the pharmacological effects and mecha- nisms of wedelactone were reviewed to lay a foundation for further study and clinical application of wedelactone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of sarsasapogenin, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects, are reviewed in order to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent development and clinical application of sarsasapogenin.

Daurisoline is an important bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid and manly exists in the rhizome of Menispermum dauricum DC., a plant of the family Menispermaceae. Due to its pharmacological effects such a anti-arrhythmia, anti-ischemia and anti-cancer, daurisoline has attracted wide attention of researchers. In this paper, the pharmacological effects and action mechanism of daurisoline were reviewed in combination with relevant research literature, to provide a theoretical basis for the development and clinical application of daurisoline.

Deoxypodophyllotoxin not only has pharmacological effects such as anti-allergy, anti-angiogenesis and liver protection, but also has good anti-tumor activity. It can play an anti-tumor role by inhibiting cell viability, inducing apoptosis, blocking cell cycle and inhibiting cell migration. In this paper, the related research on pharmacological effect and mechanism of deoxypodophyllotoxin is reviewed, to lay a foundation for the follow-up study of deoxypodophyllotoxin and drug development.
