Schisandrol A (CAS 7432-28-2): A High-Purity Lignan from Schisandra chinensis for Research and Ingredient Development
Jan 16, 2026
Introduction: From Traditional Herb to Defined Active Compound
Schisandra chinensis has long been recognized as an important botanical source in traditional herbal systems and modern natural product research. Among its diverse lignan constituents, Schisandrol A has been extensively studied as one of the representative active compounds.
Unlike conventional Schisandra extracts that contain multiple components with variable composition, Schisandrol A (CAS 7432-28-2) is a single, well-defined lignan compound, developed to meet the increasing demand for high-purity, reproducible, and traceable botanical ingredients in scientific research and industrial R&D.
At Nanjing Spring & Autumn Biological Engineering Co., Ltd., we supply Schisandrol A primarily for research, formulation development, and ingredient innovation, supporting global B2B customers with consistent quality and complete analytical documentation.
What Is Schisandrol A?
Schisandrol A is a naturally occurring lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis. Structurally well-characterized, it is often selected as a marker compound in Schisandra-related studies and ingredient standardization projects.
Key characteristics of Schisandrol A include:
Defined chemical structure
High purity and stability
Clear botanical origin
Suitability for controlled experimental design
These attributes make Schisandrol A particularly valuable for applications where chemical consistency and reproducibility are critical.
Why Choose Schisandrol A Over Conventional Schisandra Extracts?
Traditional Schisandra extracts typically contain a complex mixture of lignans, polysaccharides, and other phytochemicals. While such extracts may be suitable for certain applications, they often introduce batch-to-batch variability, which can complicate research and formulation work.
By contrast, Schisandrol A offers a single-compound solution, providing several advantages:
1. Improved Batch Consistency
Using a purified compound significantly reduces compositional variability, helping researchers obtain more reliable and comparable data.
2. Clear Dosage and Formulation Control
Schisandrol A allows precise control over concentration, which is essential for mechanism studies and formulation optimization.
3. Suitable for Mechanistic and Structure-Activity Studies
As a defined lignan, Schisandrol A is widely used in studies focused on understanding molecular behavior rather than whole-extract complexity.
Applications in Research and Ingredient Development
Schisandrol A is supplied mainly for non-finished-product applications, including:
Natural product research
Mechanism and pathway studies
Reference standards for Schisandra-derived ingredients
Formulation and stability research
Ingredient development for cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and related fields
Note: Schisandrol A is provided for research and industrial R&D use only. It is not marketed as a finished consumer product.
