Schizandrin(CAS: 7432-28-2)

Schizandrin is a natural lignan compound derived from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, known for its antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. With the chemical formula C19H22O5, it is a yellowish crystalline solid and is commonly used in traditional medicine and modern pharmaceutical research. Its molecular structure and biological activity make it a key ingredient in supplements and therapeutic applications.

Schizandrin is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for its liver-protecting and antioxidant effects, supporting detoxification and cellular health. It also finds applications in food supplements as a natural flavoring agent and in research for drug development. Additionally, it is used in industrial settings as a component in certain chemical formulations and for its potential in medicinal plant studies.

Schizandrin is generally considered safe when used in recommended doses, but proper handling is essential to avoid potential irritation. It meets safety standards for use in food and pharmaceutical products, though long-term toxicity studies are limited. Always follow safety guidelines, such as wearing protective gloves and ensuring adequate ventilation, when working with concentrated forms.

Schizandrin should be stored in a cool, dry place (below 25°C), away from light and moisture. Keep in airtight containers to prevent degradation and contamination. It is stable under these conditions but may lose potency if exposed to air or humidity. Proper storage ensures its efficacy and safety for both industrial and research purposes.
