High impact information on Cistanche

Acteoside from Cistanche salsa inhibits apoptosis by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion in cerebellar granule neurons [1].
Seven phenylethanoids from the stems of Cistanche deserticola, viz. isoacteoside, tubuloside B, acteoside, 2'-O-acetylacteoside, echinacoside, cistanoside A and tubuloside A, were tested for their effect on NO radical generation by activated murine macrophages [2].
Improvement of phenylethanoid glycosides biosynthesis in Cistanche deserticola cell suspension cultures by chitosan elicitor [3].
Four new iridoid glycosides, kankanosides A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), a chlorinated iridoid, kankanol (5), and an acyclic monoterpene glycoside, kankanoside E (6), were isolated from the methanolic extract of dried stems of Cistanche tubulosa (SCHRENK) R [4].
A purified polysaccharide ACDP-2 was isolated from water extract of the stems of Cistanche deserticola [5].

Associations of Cistanche with chemical compounds

In the present study, the rhizomes of Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae, abbreviated as CD) were extracted with 50% ethanol and isolated orderly by ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water [6].
The optimal growth of Cistanche deserticola callus and formation of phenylethanoid glycosides (PeG) was at 25 degrees C with light irradiation intensity of 24 micromol m(-2) s(-1) on solidified B5 media supplemented with 0.5 mg 6-benzylaminopurine l(-1), 10 mg gibberellin l(-1), 800 mg casein hydrolysate l(-1) and 20 g sucrose l(-1) [7].
