Combretol has leishmanicidal activity, it showed moderate activity (growth inhibition 87.3 and 73.0 %, respectively, at 50 μM) against a multidrug-resistant L. tropica line. Combretol also shows weakly active cytotoxic activity.

Mulberrofuran Q is an active compound that inhibits the formation of 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and thromboxane B2 (cyclooxygenase product) , which protects neuronal cells from hypoxia-glycorrhoea-deficiency (OGD)-induced oxidative stress.

X-Gluc cyclohexanamine 是一种检测 β-葡萄糖醛酸酶 (GUS) 的染料试剂 (与 GUS 基因反应，显现蓝色)。β-葡萄糖醛酸酶是一种由大肠杆菌产生的酶，可作为食物、水和泌尿道中大肠杆菌污染的特异性检测指标。X-Gluc cyclohexanamine 也可广泛地用于分子生物学实验中，标记和检测目的基因的表达 (GUS 报告基因)。
