Schizandrin is a natural product with several biological properties involved with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It reduces the formation of ROS, inhibits the mitochondrial pathway of the apoptotic process and oxidative stress. Schizandrin has been reported to have hepatoprotective, antitumor, antiviral, and antiamnesic effects, and has neuroprotective activity against glutamate induced neurotoxicity.
