Nortrachelogenin ((-)-Wikstromol), which can be extracted from Partrinia scabiosaefolia, has antifungal activity and induces membrane disruption and cysteinyl asparagin-dependent apoptosis.

Methyl nomilinate from citrus can modulate cell cycle regulators to induce cytotoxicity in human colon cancer (SW480) cells in vitro.

MS48107 is a potent and selective positive allosteric modulator of G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68). It is selective for GPR68 over the closely related proton GPCRs, neurotransmitter transporters, and hERG ion channels. It can readily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice.
