Cistanoside C
Cistanoside C is a phenylpropanoid glycoside with free radical scavenging, DNA repair and DNA minor groove binding activities. Cistanoside C scavenges hydrated electrons and hydroxyl radicals. Cistanoside C inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells. Cistanoside C can be used in research related to leukemia, liver cancer, lung adenocarcinoma and gastric adenocarcinoma.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Cistanoside C (0.02-0.1 mM; 5 μs post electron pulse irradiation) acts as an effective hydrated electron scavenger in cell-free nitrogen-saturated aqueous solutions[2].
Cistanoside C (0.05 mM) potently repairs dGMP and dAMP radicals damaged by hydroxyl radicals, and also scavenges hydroxyl radicals[3].

Liver Cancer Modeling
Liver cancer can be classified into primary liver cancer and secondary liver cancer. Secondary liver cancer is the metastatic liver cancer. Primary liver cancer includes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and fibrolamellar HCC, of which HCC is the most common form, accounting for approximately 90% of primary liver cancers[1]. HCC mouse models include chemical agent-induced models, transplanted tumor models, and genetic engineered models.

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
