Heliosupine, heliosupine N-oxide, 3 ′-O-acetylheliosupine N-oxide,and 7-O- angeloylechinatine N-oxide show inhibition activity against the acetylcholinesterase(AChE), with IC50 0.53-0.60 mM. Heliosupine can deter feeding by the polyphagous larvae of Spodoptera exigua.

Boc-Val-Cit-OH is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Marmin have anti-ulcer effects, which are ascribed primarily to the maintenance of the mucosal barrier integrity and inhibition of gastric motor activity and secondarily due to the prevention of the effects of endogenous acetylcholine and histamine.
