In Paeonia, it can form new compounds with addition of phenolic substituents.[3] In a study in female rats, paeoniflorin was found to inhibit the production of testosterone within the ovaries, however does not significantly affect the production of Estradiol.[4] In mice, paeoniflorin was shown to protect against neuroinflammation and depression-like behavior induced by IFN alpha.[5]
