Abstract：
:The effect of nine dibenzo[a,c]cyclooctene lignans isolated from Fructus schizandrae on in vitro and in vivo lipid peroxidation of liver microsomes as well as on anti-oxidative enzyme activities were studied. Seven of the nine lignans (1 mM) were shown to inhibit Vit C/NADPH induced lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde (MDA) formation) of rat liver microsomes. Of these compounds, schisanhenol (Sal), S(-)schizandrin C (S(-)sin C) and S(-)schizandrin B (S(-)sin B) were shown to be more potent than Vit E at the same concentration. Sal and Sin B were able to inhibit gossypol-induced superoxide anion generation in rat liver microsomes. In addition, oral administration of Sal and Sin B markedly reduced liver MDA formation induced by ethanol, 15 ml/kg in mice, and increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in rat liver cytosol. The data of this paper are in favor of the conclusion that some lignans, like Sal, have strong anti-oxidant activity. The mechanisms of anti-oxidant activity of the lignans were discussed.
