Desmethylxanthohumol是从啤酒花球果 (Humulus lupulus L.) 中分离的烯丙基化羟基查耳酮，具有诱导凋亡、抗血浆、抗增殖和抗氧化等生物活性。

8-prenylnaringenin是一种从Humulus lupulus草本植物中分离纯化的植物雌激素，具有最强的雌激素活性。它在该试验中的活性较弱，但通过免疫染色显示显著活性，改善线粒体功能，而高剂量的XN（5 µM）则会使这一细胞器的功能恶化，且通过ERα比经典植物雌激素genistein和daidzein更有效地促进成骨形成和抑制破骨吸收。

Xanthohumol D, a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Humulus lupulus, is a potent inhibitor of quinone reductase-2 (QR-2) with IC50 of 110μM.

5-O-Methylnaringenin is a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Humulus lupulus.

Xanthohumol, a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Humulus lupulus and a potent chemotherapeutic candidate for cervical cancer, inhibits the development of obese patients as well as the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and displays anti-hepatitis C virus activity in a cell culture system and may be potentially used as an alternative or complementary treatment against the hepatitis C virus.

3'-Methylflavokawin is a natural product isolated and purified from the herbs of Humulus lupulus showing cytotoxicity against HeLa cells, the IC 50 value comparable to xanthohumol (8.2-19.2 mM).
