Product Description
Schisandrin C (Schizandrin-C) is a phytochemical lignan extracted from Schisandra chinensis. Schisandrin C has diverse biological effects like anticancer, anti~inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Schisandrin C is a molecular glue. Schisandrin C may be utilized in research on cancer, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and liver disease. Schisandrin C causes apoptosis.
Schizandrin C (CAS#: 61301-33-5), also known as schisandrin C, is a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruits of *Schisandra chinensis* (Turcz.) Baill. It exhibits diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-oxidation properties. Schizandrin C decreases the viability of U937 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. It also exerts anti-neuroinflammatory effects by upregulating phase II detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes in microglia.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Schizandrin C targets multiple pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects by upregulating phase II detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes, such as heme oxygenase-1 and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, in microglia, thereby reducing neuroinflammation. The compound also exhibits anti-tumor activity by decreasing cancer cell viability and inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Its antioxidant activity is mediated through the scavenging of reactive oxygen species and the enhancement of cellular antioxidant defenses.
ln Vitro
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). Additionally, in U937 cells, it activates caspase-3 and -9[2].
Schisandrin C (25-100 μM; 48 hours) induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, U937 cells exhibit increased genomic DNA fragmentation[1].
Schisandrin C (25-100 μM; 72 hours) induces G1 arrest, down-regulates the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 4, and E2Fs, as well as inhibiting pRB and enhancing the Cdk inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1)[1].
In vitro, schizandrin C decreases the viability of U937 leukemia cells in a concentration-dependent manner and induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. The compound also exerts anti-neuroinflammatory effects by upregulating phase II detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes in microglia. These in vitro studies confirm the anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities of schizandrin C.
ln Vivo
Schisandrin C (lateral ventricle injection (i.c.v. ); 15–150 g/kg; 5 days) lessens Aβ1-42-induced memory deficits in the Y-maze test. The hippocampus' neurons in the SCH-C (15 μg/kg)-treated group recovered to normal levels, and the SCH-C group (150 μg/kg) had a minimally neuroprotective effect on the Aβ1–42-induced group. In the brains of the Aβ1–42-induced amnesic mice, SCH-C (15 μg/kg) simultaneously reduces ChEtotal levels while increasing SOD and GSHPx activities and ratios[3].
In vivo, schizandrin C has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The compound's ability to upregulate phase II detoxifying enzymes suggests potential benefits in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in various tissues. Further in vivo studies would be required to fully characterize its therapeutic potential in animal models of inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding (non-cellular) assays for schizandrin C are not extensively documented. However, the compound's antioxidant activity can be assessed using cell-free assays such as DPPH radical scavenging or ABTS assays. The compound's ability to upregulate phase II detoxifying enzymes can be studied using cell-free transcription assays. Additionally, the compound's ability to inhibit specific enzymes involved in inflammation or cancer could be evaluated using biochemical assays.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for schizandrin C are performed using various cell types, including cancer cell lines (e.g., U937 leukemia cells) and microglial cells. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of schizandrin C, and cell viability is measured using MTT assays. Cell cycle distribution is analyzed by flow cytometry to assess G1 phase arrest. The expression of phase II detoxifying enzymes is measured by quantitative PCR or Western blotting. Inflammatory cytokine production is assessed by ELISA.
Animal Protocol
Aβ1-42-induced Alzheimer’s disease mice[3]
15-150 μg/kg
Lateral ventricle injection (i.c.v.); 15-150 μg/kg; 5 days
In vivo animal experiments for schizandrin C are not extensively documented in the available literature. However, the compound could be evaluated in animal models of inflammation, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases. Standard protocols would involve administering schizandrin C to mice or rats via oral or intraperitoneal injection and assessing disease progression, inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, and tumor growth. The compound's anti-neuroinflammatory effects could be evaluated in models of neuroinflammation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Schizandrin C has a molecular weight of 384.42 g/mol and a molecular formula of C22H24O6. Detailed pharmacokinetic properties such as bioavailability, half-life, and tissue distribution have not been extensively reported in the available literature. As a lignan, schizandrin C may have moderate oral bioavailability and may undergo extensive metabolism. Further pharmacokinetic studies would be necessary to support its development as a therapeutic agent.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Schizandrin C has been evaluated in preclinical studies and has been reported to be well-tolerated at effective doses. No significant toxicity has been reported in the available literature. As a natural product with a history of use in traditional medicine, schizandrin C is generally considered to have a favorable safety profile. However, comprehensive toxicology studies would be necessary to fully assess its safety for clinical development.
