title: Triterpenoid acids from Schisandra propinqua with cytotoxic effect on rat luteal cells and human decidual cells in vitro.
abstract: Three triterpenoid acids, nigranoic acid (1), manwuweizic acid (2), schisandronic acid (3), and other four compounds were isolated from the stems of Schisandra propinqua. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant cytotoxic effect against human decidual cells and rat luteal cells in vitro.
