Stigmasterol is among the most abundant of plant sterols used as a food additive, with potential effect on lowering the levels of LDL cholesterol.

Dihydrocholesterol is a cholesterol derivative found in human feces, gallstones, eggs and other biological matter, it could reduce plasma cholesterol by inhibiting the cholesterol absorption and increasing the fecal sterol excretion.

Ergosterol is a biological precursor of Vitamin D2, found in cell membranes of fungi and protozoa.

Tigogenin, a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Agave sisalana Perrine, induces apoptosis, associated with overexpression of COX-2 correlated with overproduction of endogenous PGE2, and may modulate differentiation of BMSCs to cause a lineage shift away from the adipocytes and toward the osteoblasts, which is at least mediated by inhibition of PPARgamma and via p38 MAPK pathway.

Digitonin is a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Digitalis purpurea.

Periplocymarin, a cardiac glycoside, has potential anti-cancer activity.

Timosaponin BII, a natural product isolated and purified from the rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge with antioxidant and anti-dementia activities, can inhibit the up-regulation of BACE1 and reduced the over-production of β-CTF and Aβ in rat retina, which was induced by FeCl3, and may be useful for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Polyphyllin H is a natural product isolated and purified from the rhizomes of Paris yunnanensis Franch..

Adynerin is a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Nerium oleander.

Gitogenin, a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Agave americana, is a selective inhibitor of UGT1A4, and does not inhibit the activities of major human CYP isoforms. Gitogenin is also an inhibitor of enzyme α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 37.2±0.18 and 33.5±0.22 uM, respectively, and shows moderate stimulation of release activity on growth hormone from rat pituitary cells.
