schisandrol/schisandra

Liver regeneration is a vital process of recovery after liver damage, which is a promising clinical strategy after partial hepatectomy (PHx). Schisandrol B (SolB), one of the bioactive ingredients from Schisandra sphenanthera, displays significant hepato-protection effects against drug-induced liver

BACKGROUND Schisandrol A, a lignan with anticancer effects, is one of the representative components that identifies Schisandra chinensis. OBJECTIVE A method for purifying schisandrol A from the stems of S. chinensis was established using an octadecylsilyl (ODS) column combined with preparative

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most frequent cause of drug-induced acute liver failure. Schisandra sphenanthera is a traditional hepato-protective Chinese medicine and Schisandrol B (SolB) is one of its major active constituents. In this study, the protective effect of SolB against

Aberrant transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) signaling plays a pathogenic role in the development of vascular fibrosis. We have reported that Schisandra chinensis fruit extract (SCE), which has been used as a traditional oriental medicine, suppresses TGFβ1-mediated phenotypes in vascular smooth

OBJECTIVE The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) acts through the antioxidant response element (ARE) to regulate the expression of many detoxifying and antioxidant genes responsible for cytoprotective processes. We previously reported that Schisandrol B (SolB) isolated from

Recent studies have shown that dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans may reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance (Pgp-MDR) in cancer cells; however, the mechanism of action remains unknown. Through screening of herbs, we found that schisandrol A (SCH) isolated from Fructus Schisandrae (the

Currently, ursodeoxycholic acid and obeticholic acid are the only two FDA-approved drugs for cholestatic liver diseases. Thus, new therapeutic approaches need to be developed. Here we have evaluated the anti-cholestasis effects of Schisandrol B (SolB), a bioactive compound isolated from Schisandra

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents from the supercritical CO2 extraction of Schisandra chinensis. METHODS The compounds were separated and purified by conventional column chromatography and their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. RESULTS Nine compounds were isolated from

Contents of schisandrol A and schisandrol B were determined in methanolic extracts of biomass from in vitro cultures of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. (Schisandraceae) using an HPLC method. The biomass was cultured on six variants of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different

1. Schisandra chinensis, also called wuweizi in Chinese, is the fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., and has been officially utilized as an astringent tonic for more than two thousand years in China. This study aims to evaluate the inhibition of carboxylesterases (CESs) by the major

Seven lignans from Schisandra chinensis were investigated for their inhibitory activity on NFAT transcription. Both gomisin N (IC 50 : 1.33 +/- 0.05 microM) and schisandrol A (IC 50 : 1.34 +/- 0.05 microM) showed higher activity than gomisin E (IC 50 : 4.73 +/- 0.09 microM), schisandrin A (IC 50 :

This study examined the use of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) coupled with column chromatography (CC) and supercritical antisolvent (SAS) precipitation in purifying five lignans from the dried fruit of Schisandra chinensis. Column fractionation of the ultrasonic extracts and SAS precipitation

Lignans are the bioactive constituents in Schisandra chinensis fruits. For the first time major representatives could directly be determined in plant extracts by using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography. Based on nine commercially available standards the method was developed, finally permitting

An online supercritical fluid extraction with supercritical fluid chromatography system could provide sequential extraction and quantitative analysis of lignans in Schisandra chinensis. Supercritical fluid extraction conditions were optimized at 15 MPa, 50°C, and 4 min with supercritical

The effect of plant growth regulator forchlorfenuron (CPPU) 1 x 10(-6), 0.67 x 10(-6), 0.5 x 10(-6) on fruit morphology and effective components lignans was studied. Those morphologies were the combination of four basic morphological changes. The result showed, diametre were increased and
