Abstract
A methanolic extract of dried Schisandra fruit (Schisandra
chinensis Baill.; Schisandraceae) significantly attenuated
the neurotoxicity induced by L-glutamate in primary cultures
of rat cortical cells. Five dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans
(deoxyschisandrin, gomisin N, gomisin A, schisandrin,
and wuweizisu C) were isolated from the methanolic extract;
their protective effects against glutamate-induced
neurotoxicity were then evaluated. Among the five lignans,
deoxyschisandrin, gomisin N, and wuweizisu C significantly
attenuated glutamate-induced neurotoxicity as measured
by 1) an inhibition in the increase of intracellular [Ca2 ]; 2)
an improvement in the glutathione defense system, the
level of glutathione, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase;
and 3) an inhibition in the formation of cellular peroxide.
These results suggest that dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans
from Schisandra chinensis may possess therapeutic
potential against oxidative neuronal damage induced by
excitotoxin.
