Obtusifolin 是从决明子种子中分离得到的。它通过抑制 NF-kB 通路调节气道上皮细胞中 MUC5AC 粘蛋白的基因表达和生成。Obtusifolin 还通过靶向甲状旁腺激素相关蛋白抑制邻苯二甲酸酯诱导的乳腺癌骨转移。

Sennidin B是一种从 Cassia angustifolia 中分离的异构体，活性比Sennidin A低。Sennidin A 能够抑制 HCV NS3 解旋酶，并促进 Akt 和 GLUT4 的磷酸化，适用于糖代谢和病毒感染的研究。

3',4'-Dimethoxyflavone是一种亲脂性黄酮类化合物，能够减少PARP的合成和积累，保护皮质神经元免受Parthanatos通路引起的细胞死亡。它还在乳腺癌细胞中作为芳香烃受体 (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) 拮抗剂，并促进人体造血干细胞增殖，具有抗氧化、抗癌、抗炎、抗动脉粥样硬化、降血脂和神经保护或神经营养等多种生物活性。

7,3',4'-Trihydroxyflavone, a natural product isolated and purified from the seeds of Cassia occidentalis, can markedly inhibit the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) induced osteoclastic differentiation from mouse bone marrow derived macrophages (BMMs), it inhibits osteoclastogenesis via nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1).

Rubrofusarin gentiobioside是从决明子种子中分离出的化合物，具有清除自由基的作用。

Sennidin A可从 Cassia angustifolia 中分离得到，能够抑制 HCV NS3 解旋酶，IC₅₀ 值为 0.8 μM，并能诱导 Akt 和 GLUT4 的磷酸化，促进葡萄糖的摄取。该化合物在糖代谢调节和抗病毒研究中具有重要应用。

Thermopsine has antibacterial activity.

Obtusin is a natural product isolated and purified from Semen Cassiae.

Torachrysone, a natural product isolated and purified from the seeds of Cassia obtusifolia, shows promising antioxidant activity and noticeable antibacterial effects on four strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 2-64 mg/mL.

3-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2-propanediol is a natural product isolated and purified from the seeds of Cassia obtusifolia.

(-)-Butin, a natural product isolated and purfied from the seeds of Cassia tora, acts against H2O2-induced apoptosis were exerted via blockade of membrane potential depolarization, inhibition of the JNK pathway and mitochondria-involved caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, enhancing the expression of phosphorylated Akt (active form of Akt), a regulator of OGG1.

Sennoside C is a natural product isolated and purified from the leaves of Cassia angustifolia.
