4-Methoxycinnamaldehyde is an active ingredient of Agastache rugosa.4-Methoxycinnamaldehyde has cytoprotective activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in human laryngeal carcinoma cell lines, and helps to control disease induced by RSV infection, with an IC50 of approximately 0.055 μg/mL. The IC50 was about 0.055 μg/mL.

Substance P-related peptide that inhibits binding of G proteins to their receptors. Competitively and reversibly inhibits M2 muscarinic receptor activation of Gi or Go and inhibits Gs activation by β-adrenoceptors.

Potent and reversible Kv3.4 potassium channel blocker (IC50 = 47 nM); also attenuates inactivation of sodium currents by acting on Nav1.7 and Nav1.3 channels. Enhances TTX-sensitive sodium currents in rat small dorsal root ganglion neurons. Neuroprotective.
