YM-750 is a potent acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor (IC50=0.18 μM). ACAT catalyzes the formation of cholesteryl esters from cholesterol and long-chain fatty-acyl-coenzyme A.

SC-26196 is an orally active inhibitor of Delta6 desaturase (D6D) with IC50 of 0.2 μM in a rat liver microsomal assay, with antiinflammatory properties.

Cassiaside has significant hepato-protective effects against galactosamine damage, which is higher than that of silybin from Silybum marianum. Cassiaside demonstrates significant antimutagenic, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging effects.
