A simple, rapid and sensitive LC-MS method was developed for quantification of deoxyschizandrin in rat plasma. A 50 miccrol plasma sample was extracted by ether and performed on Elite Hypersil C(18) column (200 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) with the mobile phase of methanol-water (84:16, v/v) in a run time of 6.5 min. The analyte was monitored with positive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) by selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. A good linear relationship was obtained over the range of 1.0-50.0 ng/ml and the validated method was successfully applied for the pharmacokinetic studies of deoxyschizandrin in rat. After oral administration of 4 mg/kg deoxyschizandrin and Schisandra extract which contained the same dose of deoxyschizandrin to male rats, the C(max) of deoxyschizandrin were 15.8+/-3.1 and 34.3+/-16.8 ng/ml, T(max) were 0.51+/-0.13 and 3.83+/-1.83 h, T(1/2) were 5.3+/-2.2 and 6.5+/-3.4h.

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a critical condition with high mortality caused by acute blood loss. Cardiac injury and dysfunction induced by HS is a major factor associated with the poor prognosis of affected patients. Schisandrin A (Sch A), a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan extracted from , exhibits multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Background: Tacrolimus (Tac) is commonly used for postoperative immunosuppressive therapy in transplant patients. However, problems, for example, low bioavailability and unstable plasma concentration, persist for a long time, Studies have reported that the deoxyschizandrin could effectively improve these problems, but the pharmacokinetic parameters (PKs) of Tac combined with deoxyschizandrin are still unknown.
Method: In this study, an UHPLC-MS/MS method has been established for simultaneous quantitation of Tac and deoxyschizandrin.

Background: The aim of the study was to explore the therapeutic effect of ultrasound targeted destruction of schisandrin A contrast microbubbles on liver cancer and its related mechanism.
Materials And Methods: The Span-PEG microbubbles loaded with schisandrin A were prepared using Span60, NaCl, PEG-1500, and schisandrin A. The loading rate of schisandrin A in Span-PEG composite microbubbles was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry method.

Clinical and epidemiological research shows that people with diabetes mellitus frequently experience diabetic cognitive impairment. Schisandrin A (SchA), one of the lignans found in the dried fruit of Schisandra chinensis, has a variety of pharmacological effects on immune system control, apoptosis suppression, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation. The goal of the current investigation was to clarify the probable neuro-protective effects of SchA against streptozotocin-induced diabetes deficiencies of the spatial learning and memory in rats.

Objective: To explore the synergistic effect of deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) knockdown combined with Schizandrin A (Sch A) in protecting islet beta-cells (β-cells) from apoptosis under high-glucose (HG) conditions.
Methods: The concentration of Sch A was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). High glucose-cultured rat insulinoma beta cell line (RIN-M5F) cells were treated with Sch A and transfected with DNase I small interfering RNA (siRNA).
