\n(Holzforschung – International Journal of the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Technology of Wood, Volume 59, Issue 3, May 2005)<\/p>\n
\u201cChamaecynone possessed the strongest antifungal activity, with an antifungal index\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
— Hong Kuai has anti-fungal properties<\/p>\n
2. Effects of Chamaecyparis formosensis Extractives on Lipopolysaccharide-induced Release of Nitric Oxide
\n(Phytomedicine, Volume 14, Issue 10, 15 October 2007, Pages 675\u2013680)<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026they may serve as potential cancer chemopreventives. This study suggests that C. formosensis may have potential for use as a natural resource for human health care.\u201d<\/p>\n
—Hong Kuai has potential anti-cancer properties<\/p>\n
3. Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oil from Chamaecyparis formosensis
\n(Holzforschung – International Journal of the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Technology of Wood, Volume 61, Issue 5, Aug 2007)<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the results obtained in our current study, the essential oil of C. formosensis wood possesses significant insecticidal activities\u2026There is great potential for the development of insecticides for domestic application to kill mosquito larvae and silverfish based on this raw material.\u201d<\/p>\n
—Hong Kuai has insecticidal activity<\/p>\n
4. Composition and Antipathogenic Activities of the Twig Essential Oil of Chamaecyparis formosensis from Taiwan.
\n(Natural Product Communications, 2012, 7(7):933-936)<\/p>\n
\u201cThus, alpha-cadinol and tau-muurolol could be considered as potential natural fungicides for controlling fungal pathogens\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
—Hong Kuai has anti-fungal activity<\/p>\n
