Bioactivity | Schisandrin C (Schizandrin-C) is a phytochemical lignan isolated from Schizandra chinensis[1]. Schisandrin C has diverse biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Schisandrin C is a molecular glue. Schisandrin C can be used for cancer, alzheimer’s disease, and liver diseases research[2][3]. Schisandrin C induces cell apoptosis[1]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Schisandrin C (25-100 μM; 48 hours) down-regulates expression levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and a concomitant degradation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). It also activates caspase-3 and -9 in U937 cells[2].Schisandrin C (25-100 μM; 48 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. And the fragmentation of genomic DNA is also increased in U937 cells[1].Schisandrin C (25-100 μM; 72 hours) induces G1 arrest, it down-regulates cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 4 and E2Fs expression, and also exhibits inhibition of pRB, and up-regulation of the Cdk inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1)[1].
