schisandrol b/schisandra sphenanthera

Lignans are imporant active ingredients of Schisandra sphenanthera. A micellar electrokinetic chromatography method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eight lignans--schizandrin, schisandrol B, schisantherin A, schisanhenol, anwulignan, deoxyschizandrin, schizandrin B and

A simple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography method with photodiode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed for simultaneous determination of eight bioactive constituents (schisandrin, schisandrol B, schisantherin A, schisanhenol, anwulignan, deoxyshisandrin, schisandrin B and

We recently reported that Wuzhi tablet (WZ; Schisandra sphenanthera extract) can inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux and CYP3A-mediated metabolism of tacrolimus (FK506) and thus increase the blood concentrations of FK506. Major active lignans of WZ include schisandrin A, schisandrin B,

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

Twenty Schisandra samples were collected from different locations. Contents of 7 lignans in the samples were determined and analyzed by HPLC method coupled with hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA), and the antioxidant capacity of Schisandra from the

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

We recently reported that Wuzhi tablet (WZ), a preparation of the ethanol extract of Wuweizi (Schisandra sphenanthera), had significant effects on blood concentrations of Tacrolimus (FK506) in renal transplant recipients and rats. The active lignans in WZ are schisandrin A, schisandrin B,

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

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

The fruit of S. sphenanthera, known as "Nanwuweizi", has been widely used as traditional Chinese medicine for several thousand years. However, the current determination methods are not sufficient to evaluate its quality. An accurate, sensitive and reliable high performance liquid chromatography

This study was aimed to determine the hepatic and small intestinal distribution of active lignans in rats after treated with Wuzhi tablet (WZ, Schisandra sphenanthera extract) by LC-MS/MS method. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed at 0.25, 1.5, 4, 6, 10, 24 h after an oral administration of
