Oxyphyllacinol has antidiarrheal activity.Oxyphyllacinol has been shown to treat dementia. Oxyphyllacinol was isolated from the S. nodiflora water fraction, while the S. nodiflora water fraction has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-aging activities, inducing mitochondrial activity and increasing ctt1 gene expression by regulating stress tolerance response.

Potent, high affinity apelin receptor agonist (IC50 = 0.27 nM; Kd = 0.51 nM). Exhibits no binding GPR15 and GPR25. Activates the PI3K/AKT pathway and promotes self-renewal of hESCs via cell-cycle progression and protein translation. Also potentiates the TGFβ pathway, priming hESCs toward the endoderm lineage. Stimulates angiogenesis in HUVEC cells. Relaxes mouse aortic vessels. Functions as an anorexigenic hormone through activation of the AVP and CRH neurons in the PVN.
