Product Description: Dioscin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Dioscin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Dioscin (CCRIS 4123; Collettiside III) is a natural plant-derived steroidal saponin that has good anti-cancer activity against a variety of cancer cells. Dioscin causes DNA damage and induces apoptosis in HeLa and SiHa cells. Dioscin regulates ROS-mediated DNA damage and mitochondrial signaling pathways, exerting anticancer activity[1][2][3][4][5][6].
Formula: C10H13ClN4O4
