2-Iminothiolane HCl is a useful RNA-protein crosslinking reagent and an effective thiolation reagent for the introduction of sulphydryl groups into oligosaccharides.

Kaempferol 7-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (6''-O-Acetylastragalin) is a novel supercoolant, to sub-zero non-freezing rat heart preservation.

Isokaempferide shows hepatoprotective, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory effects, the anti-inflammatory effects can be explained, at least in part, by reducing neutrophil degranulation, myeloperoxidase activity, mediators as well as TNF-alpha secretion.
