Schizandrin-A

Schizandrin-A, a lignan from Schisandra chinensis, is also a novel heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) inhibitor that effectively inhibits the induction of HSF1 target proteins such as heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and HSP27. In addition, Schizandrin-A also regulates lipid metabolism and oxidative stress and possesses neuroprotective activity.
