Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone (Neohesperidin DC) is an artificial sweetener derived from citrus.

Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone的给药显著减少了肝损伤的两种有用标志物AST和ALT的活性。在PQ处理的小鼠中，NF-κB、IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α蛋白的相对水平受到Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone的抑制[3]。对Wistar Crl:(WI)WU BR大鼠进行的Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone的胚胎毒性/致畸性研究显示，在最高剂量水平下饮食中Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone含量高达5%，相当于大鼠每日约摄入3.3 g/kg体重，未观察到不良影响[4]。

WST-8 dye is used in the cell viability assay. HIT-T15 and HUVEC cells are grown and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine calf serum. 1000 cells in each well are incubated with various concentrations of neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (50, 100, 500 μM, 1 mM) and other compounds. After treating HIT-T15 and HUVEC cells with 500 μM HOCl, WST-8 dye is added to each well, and the absorbance is detected at 420 nm with microplate reader[1].
