Handling Instructions Technical Support

Schisantherin B (Gomisin-B) is a lignan compound and one of the active components of Schisandra chinensis. Schisantherin B activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, restores the activity of GSK3β, and reduces the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein in hippocampal and cerebral cortical tissues. Schisantherin B upregulates the level of GLT-1, decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α/IL-1β/IL-6, upregulates the expression of IL-10, and inhibits cell apoptosis. Schisantherin B is applicable to the research of spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease and depression.

Description

Schisantherin B (Gomisin-B) is a lignan compound and one of the active components of Schisandra chinensis. Schisantherin B activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, restores the activity of GSK3β, and reduces the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein in hippocampal and cerebral cortical tissues. Schisantherin B upregulates the level of GLT-1, decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α/IL-1β/IL-6, upregulates the expression of IL-10, and inhibits cell apoptosis. Schisantherin B is applicable to the research of spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease and depression[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Schisantherin B (25 μM; 4 h) increases viability, inhibits apoptosis, and activates the PI3K/AKT pathway in H2O2-treated PC12 cells[2].

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

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: PC12 cells
Concentration: 25 μM (co-incubated with 90 μM H2O2)
Incubation Time: 4 hours
Result: Increased PC12 cell viability to 66.15% (compared to 40.86% in the H2O2-only group).

Significantly upregulated MFI of phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K) and phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) compared to the H2O2-only group.
In Vivo

Schisantherin B (15 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily for 10 consecutive days) exerts antidepressant-like effects in mice with depression induced by the forced swim test (FST), ameliorates FST-induced short-term memory impairment, and restores the activities of hippocampal GLT-1 and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway[1].
Schisantherin B (15 mg/kg; intravenous injection; three times daily) improves motor function, alleviates tissue damage, inhibits apoptosis and inflammatory responses, and activates the PI3K/AKT pathway to mitigate secondary injury, thereby promoting recovery in a mouse model of spinal cord injury[2].
Schisantherin B (0.015-0.15 mg/kg; intracerebroventricular injection; once daily for 5 consecutive days) dose-dependently ameliorates Aβ1-42-induced cognitive decline and neuronal damage in mice by restoring the functions of GLT-1 and GSK3β and reducing excessive tau phosphorylation[3].
Schisantherin B (0.15 mg/kg; intracerebroventricular injection, once daily for 5 consecutive days) enhances spatial learning ability in healthy mice without altering their basal motor activity or inducing neuronal or biochemical abnormalities[3].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
