Juncatrin A
Juncatrin A is a dihydrophenanthrene compound that can be naturally extracted from the whole plant methanol extract of Juncus atratus Krock. (a plant of the Juncaceae family, Juncus genus). Juncatrin A exhibits only weak antiproliferative activity against HeLa human cervical cancer cells (55.60% inhibition at 30 μM). Juncatrin A can be used in the research of anticancer natural drug precursors and active components of Juncus plants.

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.
