Kadsura induta is a species of climbing liana in the family Schisandraceae. It is native to subtropical regions of China (Yunnan and Guangxi) and Vietnam. Unlike many other species in the genus Kadsura, which typically have a smooth exterior, the fruit of K. induta is covered in dense, hair-like structures (pubescent-tomentose).
The plant is a subject of pharmacological research due to its secondary metabolites. It contains various biologically active compounds, specifically dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, including:
Kadsindutalignans A–C (1–3)
Kadsura acsmithii · Kadsura angustifolia · Kadsura borneensis · Kadsura celebica · Crimson Kadsura · Japanese Kadsura · Kadsura lanceolata · Long Stalk Kadsura · Kadsura marmorata · Kadsura matsudae · Kadsura oblongifolia · Kadsura philippinensis
