schisantherin a/neoplasms

Gastric cancer is one of the most lethal cancers with unmet clinical treatment and low 5-year survival rate. Schisantherin A is a major compound derived from Fructusschisandrae while its anti-tumor role remains nearly unknown. Here, we reported that schisantherin A had an anti-proliferation effect

A new dibenzocyclooctene-type lignan, named schisandrin A1 (1), together with nine known lignans (2-10), was isolated from the stems of Schisandra sphenathera. The structure of schisandrin A1, which contains a spirocyclic epoxy unit, was established by means of spectroscopic methods. The absolute

Schisantherin A (SchA), a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra sphenanthera, was reported to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its protective effect against renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in human renal tubular epithelial cells

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) adhesion, activation, sequestration and inflammatory damage to alveolar-capillary membrane. Schisantherin A, a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra sphenanthera, has been

We recently reported that dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans were a novel class of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors. In this study, we demonstrated that the lignans of this class were also effective inhibitors of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1). The activities of 5 dibenzocyclooctadiene

Dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, the major active components of fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., have been found to have activities that could prevent prostate and thyroid cancer, hepatotoxicity, oxidative stress-induced cerebral injury, etc. This study was conducted to evaluate the
