n-Butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside could be isolated from kangaisan. n-Butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. n-Butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside can be used for cancer research^[1].

n-Butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside (0-23.6 μg/mL; 24-78 hours) has antiproliferation activity and inhibits the viability of Bel-7402 cells^[1].
n-Butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside (0-75 μg/mL; 0-72 hours) inhibits BEL-7402 cells by interfering with cell cycle and inducing apoptosis^[1].
