Mitraphylline has antiproliferative effects on human glioma and neuroblastoma cell lines. It also has anti-inflammatory activity, it inhibits lipopolysaccharide-mediated activation of primary human neutrophils.

Isoliquiritin apioside isolated from Glycyrrhizae radix rhizome significantly decreases PMA-induced increases in MMP9 activities and suppresses PMA-induced activation of MAPK and NF-κB.

Anti-inflammatory agent 51 is an amide/sulfonamide derivative with anti-inflammatory and potentially anti-tumor activity and inhibition of NF-κB activation, which can be used to study acute lung injury and ulcerative colitis.
