Schisandra fruit extracts are often sold on total lignan or multi-marker stories. When the purchase order must name one lignan, schizandrin A (CAS 61281-38-7) is a common choice—and a frequent source of synonym confusion.
Comparison focus inside one plant
Schisandra materials may list schizandrin (schisandrol A), schizandrin A, schizandrin B, and related lignans as separate CAS items. They are not interchangeable on a COA. Keep the CAS on every RFQ.
Synonyms seen in catalogs: schisandrin A; deoxyschisandrin (verify against CAS 61281-38-7 before substituting names on paperwork).

Buying notes
If you need a Schisandra extract standardized to schizandrin A, say so explicitly. If you need the isolated lignan, order CAS 61281-38-7. MonuoChem will quote against the article type you specify.
FAQ
Is schizandrin A the same as schisandrin?
Not necessarily. “Schisandrin” often refers to schisandrol A (different CAS). Align names to CAS 61281-38-7 for this product.
What plant part is used?
Schisandra fruit is the usual commercial plant part referenced for these lignans.
Can bulk Schisandra lignans be supplied?
Provide quantity and grade targets on the RFQ for quotation.
What documents are available?
Available documentation may include COA and SDS, subject to product grade.
