Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | With an IC50 of 6.60 μM, schisandrin A (Sch A) potently inhibits the microsomal midazolam 1-hydroxylation process mediated by CYP3A. The dilution assay graph displays the recovery of enzyme activity in the presence and absence of Schisandrin A. Using the Dixon plot, the Ki value of Schisandrin A was found to be 5.83 μM. The research discovered that Schisandrin A deactivated the midazolam 1-hydroxylation activity of rat liver microsomes in a concentration- and time-dependent manner when NADPH was present. Schisandrin A's kappa and Ki are calculated to be 4.51 μM and 0.134/min, respectively [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In a concentration-dependent manner, schisandrin A (SchA) markedly reduced the CYP3A activity of rat liver microsomes as well as the Vmax value of every group. Schisandrin A suppresses CYP3A activity, as seen by the double reciprocal plot and the quadratic plot, with an apparent Ki value of 30.67 mg/kg. When compared to the Negative group, Schisandrin A also dramatically decreased the plasma concentrations of 1-hydroxymidazolam in each Schisandrin A treatment group, bringing them down to levels comparable to those in the Positive group [2]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~50 mg/mL (~120.05 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.00 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
