(-)-Hinesol (Hinesol) is a potent anticancer agent. (-)-Hinesol induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. (-)-Hinesol downregulates MEK/ERK pathway and NF-κB pathway and mediates theexpression of cyclin D1, Bax and Bcl-2. (-)-Hinesol has the potential for the research of non–small cell lung cancer.

1(10)-Aristolen-2-one has antifungal activity.

Neuropeptide SF human augments paraventricular corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) release and increases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone levels in the plasma. Neuropeptide SF human play a physiologic role in the regulation of such circadian functions as the activity of motor centers and the HPA axis, through the release of CRH.
