Schisandraceae

5-O-Caffeoylshikimic acid shows anti-oxidative activity; it also shows anti-inflammatory activity, the underlying mechanism was associated with downregulation of nuclear factor-κB.

Angeloylgomisin H shows moderate cytotoxic activities with IC50 values ranging from 100 to 200 ug/mL against MCF7, HEK293 and CAL27 cell lines.

Schisandrin B (Schisandrin B (Sch B)) has an antioxidant effect on rodent liver and heart.

1. Schisandrol B (Besigomsin) may exert neuroprotective effects by attenuating the microglia-mediated neuroinflammatory response via inhibiting the TLR4-mediated NF-κB and MAPKs signaling pathways. 2. Schisandrol B has anti-inflammatory property, potentially result from the inhibition of COX-2, iNOS, IL-6, TNF-α and NO through the down-regulation of RIP2 and NF-κB activation. 3. Schisandrol B induces marked protective effects against hepatic and renal injury induced by CCl(4) exposure through differential regulation of the MAPK signal transduction pathway. 4. Schisandrol B significantly inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, due to cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase with the downregulation of cyclin D1 expression and Retinoblastoma (RB) phosphorylation.

Schisantherin E is a natural lignan isolated from Schisandra chinensis. Schisandra chinensis has antioxidant, hepatoprotective, sedative, anticancer, anti-SARS and anti-inflammatory activities.

Macelignan (Anwuligan) is a lignan isolated from nutmeg with antimicrobial and anticariogenic activity against Streptococcus mutans and other streptococcus species.

Schisandrone (Arisantetralone C) is a 4-aryltetrahydrofuran lignan extracted from the dried fruit of Schisandra chinensis.

1. Heteroclitin D can inhibit L-type calcium channels. 2. Heteroclitin D might be a valuable antitumor promoter or chemopreventor.

β-Chamigrenal has anti-inflammatory activity, it has inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2 production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Chamigrenal shows platelet-activating factor antagonistic activity and the IC(50)

Isomagnolone is a natural product isolated from Illicium burmanicum and has anti-inflammatory activity.

Schisantherin A (Wuweizi ester-A) is a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra sphenanthera, has been used as an antitussive, tonic, and sedative agent.

Tigloylgomisin H represents a potential liver cancer prevention agent, it can significantly induce quinone reductase (QR) activity in Hepa1c1c7 mouse hepatocarcinoma cells, it functions as a novel monofunctional inducer that specifically upregulates phase

(-)-Denudatin B (Denudatin B) is derived from Magnolia fargesii. (-)-Denudatin B has nonspecific antiplatelet action at high concentration by inhibiting phosphoinositides breakdown induced by collagen and thrombin.

1. Schisantherin B (Schizantherin-B) shows good effect in lowering the serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase level of the patients suffering from chronic virus hepatitis.

3,4-O-Isopropylidene-shikimic acid (3,4-O-Isopropylidene shikimic acid) exhibits significant anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombosis, antioxidant, and analgesic effects, and provides protective benefits against trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced experimental colitis in rats, likely because of its antioxidant properties.

Gomisin D is a natural product

Schisandrin (Wuweizi alcohol-A) is a compound with anti-asthmatic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Angeloylgomisin Q is a natural product from Schizandra chinensis BAILL.

Kadsurin has anti-oxidant activity, it induces enzymes capable of scavenging oxygen radical species in the liver. Kadsurin may be valuable antitumor promoters or chemopreventors.

Gomisin G is a natural compound and exhibits potent anti-HIV activity (EC50: 0.006 μg/mL; therapeutic index: 300). It is a good substrate of CYP2C9.

1. Schisanhenol (Schizanhenol) can protect against adriamycin induced heart mitochondrial toxicity. 2. Schisanhenol has antioxidative effect on human LDL oxidation, may be through scavenging free radicals. 3. Schisanhenol has anti-apoptosis effect on BACSs, may be related to its inhibition of ROS generation.

Gomisin O (5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-1,2,3,13-tetramethoxy-6,7-dimethylbenzo[3,4]cycloocta[1,2-f][1,3]benzodioxol-5-ol) is a natural product from Schizandra chinensis.

Methyl syringate (Syringic Acid Methyl Ester) has a unique inhibitory activity toward aflatoxin production with a different mode of action from that of gallic acid. Methyl syringate from K. pictus is a specific and selective activator of hTRPA1, can regulate food intake and gastric emptying through a TRPA1-mediated pathway and, by extension, can contribute to weight suppression.
