Product Description
Schisandrin (Schizandrin) is a biphenylcyclooctene lignan extracted from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis. Schisandrin has antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer and anti~inflammatory activities. Schisandrin also reversed memory impairment in rats.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In RAW 264.7 cells, schisandrin (10-100 μM; 2 h pretreatment) dose-dependently suppresses LPS-stimulated NO generation, iNOS protein, and mRNA expression [1]. In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, schisandrin (25–100 μM; 2 hours pretreatment) suppresses prostaglandin E2 synthesis, COX-2 protein, and mRNA expression [1]. SK-HEP-1, SNU-638, and T47D cell proliferation is inhibited by schisandrin, with IC50 values of 42.0, 53.1, and 40.0 μM, respectively [3]. Schisandrin (10–60 μM; 48 hours) preferentially reverses MCF-7/DOX resistance and amplifies apoptosis elicited by doxorubicin [4].
ln Vivo
In mice, schisandrin (10–100 mg/kg; single intraperitoneal injection) decreases paw edema brought on by carrageenan and prevents peritoneal vascular permeability brought on by acetic acid [1]. Schisandrin (1–10 mg/kg; single oral dosage) dramatically improves oxotremorine-induced tremor in rats and overcomes scopolamine-induced deficits in spatial memory and passive avoidance responses [2].
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [1]
Cell Types: RAW 264.7 Macrophage
Tested Concentrations: 12.5, 25, 50, 100 μM

Experimental Results: iNOS protein expression demonstrated significant in a dose-dependent manner. Dramatically inhibits COX-2 protein expression.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male ICR mice (4 weeks) were intraperitoneally (ip) (ip) injected with λ-carrageenan [1] in the right hind paw.
Doses: 100, 200 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: single ip.
Experimental Results: Inhibited paw edema by 33.43% (100 mg /kg) and 57.38 % (200 mg/kg) at 3 hrs (hrs (hours)).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~1 mg/mL (~2.31 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.28 mg/mL (0.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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 2.8 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.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.3121 mL 11.5604 mL 23.1209 mL
5 mM 0.4624 mL 2.3121 mL 4.6242 mL
10 mM 0.2312 mL 1.1560 mL 2.3121 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
