Table 1.

Cytotoxic activity of deoxyschizandrin and schizandrin isolated from the berries of S. chinensis in human ovarian cancer cell lines.

	^a IC₅₀
	A2780	OVCAR3	SKOV3
Deoxyschizandrin (µM)	27.81 ± 3.44	70.34 ± 0.45	67.99 ± 5.91
Schizandrin (µM)	>100	>100	>100

Notes: ^a IC₅₀ is defined as the concentration that results in a 50% decrease in the number of cells compared to that of the control groups. Human ovarian cancer cells were treated with various concentration of deoxyschizandrin for 48 h and cell viability was determined using MTT assay. The values represent the mean ± SD of the results from three independent experiments.
