Research News and Information
Definition of 'Schisandra'A plant genus of the family SCHISANDRACEAE. Members contain schisandrins (Russian) which are also called gomisins (Japanese) or wuweizins (Chinese). The compounds in this genus are very similar to those in the related KADSURA and medicinal usage is very similar. It is sometimes adulterated with KADSURA.

Bioactive Nortriterpenoids from Schisandra grandiflora.
30 Aug 2009 
Three new nortriterpenoids, schigrandilactones A-C (1-3), along with eight known compounds, were isolated from an organic solvent extract of Schisandra grandiflora. Compounds 1 and 2 feature a spirocyclic moiety in their structures, and compound 3 ... Read more...
Oxygenated lignans from the fruits of Schisandra arisanensis.
30 Aug 2009 An acetone extract of the fruits of the Taiwanese medicinal plant Schisandra arisanensis has yielded 11 new oxygenated lignans. Four of these, named arisantetralones A-D (1-4), possess the aryltetralone skeleton, while the other seven, named ... Read more...
