cistanoside a

1. Cistanoside A possesses protective activities on CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in mice, which is involved with increasing free radicals clearing activities, alleviating lipid-overoxidation damage, and improving respiratory chain function in mitochondria.

Cistanoside H is a phenylethanoid glycoside with neuroprotective properties, extracted from the leaves and young branches of Callicarpa dichotoma. It can alleviate glutamate-induced oxidative stress and protect rat cortical neurons from neurotoxic damage. By safeguarding neural cells and resisting excitotoxic injury, Cistanoside H is applicable in research related to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Cistanoside F is a natural phenylethanol glycoside exhibiting antioxidant activity, capable of scavenging superoxide anion radicals (O₂⁻).
