Abstract

Dibenzocyclooctadiene Lignans isolated from Schisandra chinensis showed antiproliferative effects in various human Cancer cells. The methoxy groups at C-3, C-4, C-3', and C-4', the hydroxyl group at C-8', and the stereo-configuration of the biphenyl ring and the angeloyl group might have influence on these activities. Additional studies indicate that one of mechanism of action of an active compound schizantherin C in A549 human lung Cancer cells was related to the inhibition of cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase.
