Schisandrin B (γ-Schisandrin) is a dibenzocyclooctadiene derivative isolated from Fructus Schisandrae, has been shown to produce antioxidant effect on rodent liver and heart. IC50 value: Target: in vitro: Schisandrin B exhibits anti-inflammatory activity through modulation of the redox-sensitive transcription factors Nrf2 and NF-κB. SB inhibited mitogen-induced proliferation and cytokine secretion by lymphocytes [1]. Sch B can protect neuronal cells against oxidative challenge, presumably by functioning as a hormetic agent to sustain cellular redox homeostasis and mitoenergetic capacity in neuronal cells [2]. Sch B exerted significant neuroprotective effects against microglial-mediated inflammatory injury in microglia-neuron co-cultures. Sch B significantly downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines, including nitrite oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 [3]. Sch B could inhibit TGF-β induced EMT of 4T1 cells and of primary human breast cancer cells [4]. in vivo: Similar anti-inflammatory effects of SB on lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine secretion were also observed in vivo [1]. Treatment with Sch B in CsA-treated mice significantly suppressed the elevation of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels and attenuated the histopathological changes. Additionally, Sch B also decreased renal MDA levels and increased GSH levels in CsA-treated mice [5].

Schisandrin A inhibits CYP3A activity with an IC₅₀ of 6.60 μM and K_i of 5.83 μM, respectively.

Schisandrin A (Sch A) strongly inhibits microsomal midazolam 1-hydroxylation catalyzed by CYP3A, with an IC₅₀ of 6.60 μM. The recovery of enzyme activity in the absence or presence of Schisandrin A is shown in dilution assay plots. The K_i value for Schisandrin A is obtained from the Dixon plots and is 5.83 μM. The inactivation of rat liver microsomal midazolam 1-hydroxylation activity by Schisandrin A in the presence of NADPH is found to be time- and concentration-dependent. The K_inact and K_i are estimated to be 0.134/min and 4.51 μM, respectively for Schisandrin A^[1].

Schisandrin A (SchA) significantly inhibits CYP3A activity in rat hepatic microsomes and V_max value of each group in a concentration-dependent manner. The double-reciprocal plots and the secondary plot show that Schisandrin A inhibits CYP3A activity, with an apparent K_i value of 30.67 mg/kg. In each Schisandrin A-treated group, Schisandrin A also significantly decreases 1-hydroxymidazolam plasma concentrations compared with the negative group (to levels similar to the positive group)^[2].

For the inactivation of CYP3A4 activity, microsomes are preincubated with inhibitors (Schisandrin A, 2.4 μM, 7.2 μM and 12.0 μM; or Sch B) at 37°C for up to 15 min in the presence of NADPH. Reactions are initiated with the addition of substrate midazolam and incubated at 37°C for 10 min. The enzyme inactivation is analyzed. Duplicates are prepared and tested^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Rats^[2]
Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-280 g and 2-3 months of age, are used. The rats are randomly divided into five groups with 16 rats in each group. The animals are administered once daily for three consecutive days. The Schisandrin A-treated groups are administered intragastrically with doses of 32, 16 or 8 mg/kg of Schisandrin A (physiological saline as vehicle), and the rats are similarly administered with equal volume of vehicle in the negative control group and Ketoconazole (75 mg/kg) in the positive control group. All animals are allowed free access to food but are fasted overnight before scarification to reduce the intestinal content, and each group is randomly divided into two parts with eight rats in each part^[2].
