Cedryl Acetate, an acetylated from cedarwood oil, has been applied to chemistry for its properties as a chiral and cell signaling reagent with antifungal and immunotoxicity functions.

7,4'-Di-O-methylapigenin, a flavonoid purified from aquilaria sinensis, can inhibit α-glucosidase, α-amylase enzymes and enhance 2-NBDG uptake in L6 cells. It has hypolipidemic effect.

(Z)-Butylidenephthalide, a natural product isolated and purified from the roots of Angelica sinensis, has antitumor effect, can effectively inhibit the tumor growth in the glioma.

D-Fagomine is an iminosugar originally isolated from seeds of buckwheat (Fagopyrum sculentum Moench), present in the human diet and now available as a pure crystalline product.

Kaempferol 7-O-rhamnoside is a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Maytenus hookeri.

Castanospermine inhibits all forms of α- and β-glucosidases, especially glucosidase l (required for glucoprotein processing by transfer of mannose and glucose from asparagine-linked lipids).

Methyl caffeate is an α-glucosidase inhibitor found in species of Solanum and Magnolia. It exhibits several biological activities, including suppressing growth of Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Mycobacterium, inhibiting replication of HIV, and decreasing blood glucose levels in models of diabetes.

ML266 is a glucocerebrosidase activator and a non-inhibitory chaperone of glucocerebrosidase.

Butyl isobutyl phthalate is isolated from the rhizoid of Laminaria japonica. Butyl isobutyl phthalate is a non-competitive α-glucosidase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 38 μM. Butyl isobutyl phthalate shows a hypoglycemic effect and has the potential for diabetes treatment.
