New phenylethanoid glycosides from Cistanche tubulosa (SCHRENK) HOOOK. f. I.

Interference of Phenylethanoid Glycosides from Cistanche tubulosa with the MTT Assay.

The MTT assay, as a screening method, has been widely used to measure the viability and proliferation of cells. However, it should be noted that MTT assay may not accurately reflect the effect of Cistanche tubulosa ethanolic extract on EA.hy926 cells viability. To investigate and identity the components responsible for the contradictory observations of the MTT assay, echinacoside and acteoside,...

Preparation and evaluation of microemulsion-based transdermal delivery of Cistanche tubulosa phenylethanoid glycosides

The primary aim of the present study was to develop a novel microemulsion (ME) formulation to deliver phenylethanoid glycoside (PG) for use in skin lighteners and sunscreens. The oil phase was selected on the basis of drug solubility, while the surfactant and cosurfactant were screened and selected on the basis of their solubilizing capacity and the efficiency with which they formed MEs. Pseudo...

New phenylethanoid glycosides from Bacopa monniera.

Three new phenylethanoid glycosides, viz. monnierasides I-III (1-3) along with the known analogue plantainoside B were isolated from the glycosidic fraction of Bacopa monniera. Their structures were elucidated mainly on the basis of two dimensional (2D) NMR spectral analyses.
