Schisandrins (A, B, C) are dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans. Hepatoprotective via CYP450 modulation + glutathione induction — clinically used in hepatitis-support protocols in TCM. HPA-axis adaptogen profile. Schisandrin B potently induces CYP3A4 in rodents — drug-interaction potential at pharmacologic doses.
