Application

Schizandrin may be used in oxidative stress-related cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Schizandrin is a natural product with several biological properties involved with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It reduces the formation of ROS, inhibits the mitochondrial pathway of the apoptotic process and oxidative stress. Schizandrin has been reported to have hepatoprotective, antitumor, antiviral, and antiamnesic effects, and has neuroprotective activity against glutamate induced neurotoxicity.

Aggregated beta-amyloid (Aβ) and elevated plasma levels of homocysteine have been implicated as critical factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The neuroprotective effects and possible mechanism of four structurally similar dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (namely schisandrin, schisantherin A, schisandrin B and

In the present study, we examined the effect of schisandrin (SCH) of Schisandra chinensis on the amyloid-beta(1-42)- (Aβ(1-42)-) induced memory impairment in mice and elucidated the possible antioxidative mechanism. Mice were intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injected with the aggregated Aβ(1-42) and then

Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity has been implicated in a variety of neuronal degenerative disorders. In the present study, we investigated the possible neuroprotective effects of schizandrin against apoptosis of primary cultured rat cortical cells induced by glutamate. Glutamate (10 μM) administered for

Schiglautone A (1), a unique 6/7/9-fused tricyclic carbon backbone triterpenoid, was isolated from the stems of Schisandra glaucescens. Its structure was determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. A hypothetical biosynthetic pathway of 1 was postulated.

High glucose (HG) is the underlying factor contributing to long term complication of diabetes mellitus. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been postulated as a unifying mechanism for HG-induced complications. NADPH oxidase, producing superoxide anion, is the main source of ROS
