Product Description
Kadsurin, a naturally occurring compound found in the stems of Kadsura heteroclita (Schizandraceae), can significantly reduce CCL4-induced lipid peroxidation products, like TBA-RS, conjugated dienes and fluorescent products, in mouse livers.
Kadsurin (CAS#: 51670-40-7) is a naturally occurring compound found in the stems of Kadsura heteroclita (Schizandraceae). It has antioxidant activity and induces enzymes capable of scavenging oxygen radical species in the liver. Kadsurin significantly decreases CCl₄-induced lipid peroxidation products, such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA-RS), conjugated dienes, and fluorescent products in the liver of mice. It may be valuable as an antitumor promoter or chemopreventive agent. It has the molecular formula C₂₅H₃₀O₈ and a molecular weight of 458.50.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Kadsurin does not have a single defined pharmacological target. As a lignan with antioxidant activity, its primary mechanism involves scavenging reactive oxygen species and inducing antioxidant enzymes in the liver. It significantly decreases CCl₄-induced lipid peroxidation products, indicating protection against oxidative damage. The compound may also modulate oxidative stress pathways, protect liver function, and support mitochondrial health. Its unique lignan structure contributes to its bioactivity and potential as a lead compound in natural product-based drug discovery.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Kadsurin has antioxidant activity and induces enzymes capable of scavenging oxygen radical species. It significantly decreases CCl₄-induced lipid peroxidation products, such as TBA-RS, conjugated dienes, and fluorescent products. As a lignan, it may also have antitumor promoting or chemopreventive activity. However, specific IC₅₀ values or detailed activity data is not provided in the available sources.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Kadsurin significantly decreases CCl₄-induced lipid peroxidation products in the liver of mice. It induces enzymes capable of scavenging oxygen radical species in the liver. The compound protects liver function and supports mitochondrial health. It may be valuable as an antitumor promoter or chemopreventive agent. However, specific in vivo dosing and efficacy data is not detailed in the available sources.
Enzyme Assay
For antioxidant compounds, standard cell-free assays include DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical cation decolorization, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. These assays involve incubating the compound with free radical-generating systems and measuring the reduction in oxidative products. Lipid peroxidation inhibition can be measured using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays.
Cell Assay
For antioxidant compounds, standard cellular assays involve treatment of hepatocytes or other cell lines with the test compound followed by exposure to oxidative stress (e.g., CCl₄, H₂O₂). Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, lipid peroxidation (MDA), and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GPx) are measured.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo evaluation of hepatoprotective compounds, standard animal models include CCl₄-induced liver injury in mice or rats. The compound is typically administered orally or intraperitoneally prior to CCl₄ challenge. Liver function markers (ALT, AST), lipid peroxidation products, antioxidant enzyme activities, and liver histology are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Detailed pharmacokinetic data for Kadsurin is not provided in the available sources. The compound has a molecular weight of 458.50 and formula C₂₅H₃₀O₈. As a lignan with moderate lipophilicity, it would be expected to have reasonable oral absorption. Comprehensive PK studies would be required for therapeutic development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Detailed toxicology data for Kadsurin is not provided in the available sources. As a naturally occurring compound, it may have a favorable safety profile at moderate doses. However, comprehensive toxicological evaluation would be required for therapeutic development. The compound is for research use only and not for therapeutic applications.

  • 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)
