Description: | Schisandrone, a 4-aryltetralone lignan, is isolated from the dried fruits of Schisandra sphenanthera[1]. Schisandrone is an alpha-hemolysin (Hla) inhibitor that downregulates the transcript levels of hla, agrA and RNAIII. Hla is an integral virulence determinant in Staphylococcus aureus that determines pathogenicity. Schisandrone is a potent inhibitor against MRSA pneumonia[2]. |
