Physalin A exerts anti-tumor activity in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines by suppressing JAK/STAT3 signaling, it inhibits androgen-independent prostate cancer cell growth through activation of cell apoptosis and downregulation of androgen receptor expression.

Filixic acid ABA exhibits inhibitory effects on neuraminidase of influenza virus H5N1 with IC50 as 29.57 ± 2.48 μM, it may have anti-influenza virus activity.

Eicosapentaenoic acid is converted to epoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (EpETEs) by several cytochrome P450 isoforms. The major product of this epoxygenase pathway, (±)17(18)-EpETE , relaxes vascular and airway smooth muscle by activating large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels by directly interacting with BKα channel subunits. (±)8(9)-EpETE is an epoxygenase pathway product produced from EPA by CYP450 both in vitro and in vivo. The biological actions and physiological effects of this epoxide remain to be determined.
