TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the lanostane triterpenes isolated in this study contribute to the inhibitory effect of the fruiting bodies of G. LUCIDUM on adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells.

TL;DR: Two novel neo-clerodane diterpenoids, barbatellarines A and B, were isolated from the whole plants of Scutellaria barbata and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against the HL-60, MCF7, and LLC cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: Investigation of the in vitro anti-diabetic potential of prunin via the inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, α-glucosidase, peroxynitrite (ONOO−)-mediated tyrosin nitration, and stimulation of glucose uptake in insulin-resistant hepatocytes indicates that prunin has significant potential as a selective PTP1B inhibitor and may possess anti-Diabetic properties by improving insulin resistance.

TL;DR: A new ellagitannin, agritann in, a new flavone glycoside, agriflavone, and another flavone Glycoside with spectroscopic data reported for the first time, along with 16 known compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb, and most of them were found to have moderate inhibitory effects.

TL;DR: The antioxidative activities of compounds 1 and 2, together with gallic acid, indicated that the number of galloyl moieties could play an important role in the antioxidative activity.
