Schisandrin is a bioactive compound found in Schisandra chinensis. Schisandrin exhibits antioxidant properties and ameliorates ovariectomy-induced memory impairment in rats, and Aβ1-42-induced memory impairment in mice. Schisandrin has an anti-asthmatic effect on OVA-induced airway inflammation in a murine asthma model. The compound inhibits proliferation of breast cancer cell lines at concentrations of 20-100 uM.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

In a study of cognitive dysfunction in ovariectomized rats schizandrin was administered orally at 10 and 30 mg/kg

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Effect of schisandrin on proliferation of breast cancer cell lines was determined with the sulforhodamine B protein staining method. T47D and MDA-MB-213 cells were treated with 0.8 - 100 uM of schisandrin for 3 days.
