Biochem/physiol Actions

Gomisin A guards against hepatic and renal injury stimulated by CCl(4) (carbon tetrachloride) exposure by differential modulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signal transduction pathway. It also blocks inflammatory responses, promoted by lipopolysaccharide in N9 microglia by blocking the NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells)/MAPKs pathway.
Gomisin A is a major dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan from medicinal plant Schizandra Chinese that exhibit a wide variety of interesting biological activities, including hepatoprotective, antiviral, anticancer, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory. Gomisin A suppressed the expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in LPS-stimulated N9 microglia through suppression of NF-κB/MAPKs pathway.
