BACKGROUND
Previous work found that extracts from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, a Chinese medicinal herb, reduced alcohol intake in selectively bred Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) rats. The present study was designed to evaluate whether miltirone, one of the possible active constituents of S.
Ten diterpene quinones, which inhibited the binding of [3H]flunitrazepam to central benzodiazepine receptors with IC50s ranging from 0.3 to 36.2 microM, were isolated from the ethereal extract of the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Among these natural products, miltirone has the highest potency (IC50
Twenty one o-quinonoid-type compounds and one coumarin-type compound related to miltirone (1) have been synthesized with the aim to identify the key structural elements involved in miltirone's interaction with the central benzodiazepine receptor. On the basis of their inhibition of [3H]flunitrazepam
Fourteen constituents were isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza f. alba. Two of them were new compounds and were named 1,2,15,16-tetrahydrotanshiquinone (I) and tanshinaldehyde (II). The others were identified as Ro-090680 (III), dihydroisotanshone I (IV), danshexinkun B (V), miltirone
A method for extraction and preparative separation of tanshinones from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge was successfully established in this paper. Tanshinones from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge were extracted using ethyl acetate as the extractant under reflux. The extracts were then purified by high speed
A rapid, sensitive, reproducible, and accurate ultraperformance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 10 diterpenoid compounds (tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, cryptotanshinone, dihydrotanshinone I, 1,2-dihydrotanshinquinone, methylenetanshinquinone,
Quinone reductase (QR) induction is a reliable biomarker of phase II enzyme induction. In this study, glutathione (GSH) was employed and a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method was introduced to reveal the chemical constituents with QR activity from the ethyl acetate
BACKGROUND
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is an underlying cause of endothelial dysfunction, which is an early event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In our previous study, we established an ARE-driven luciferase reporter system and screened out several potential Nrf2 activators
Highly oxidized tanshinones are pharmacological ingredients extracted from the medicinal model plant Salvia miltiorrhiza and are mainly used to treat cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have confirmed that cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases (CYP450s) have a key function in the biosynthesis of
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the effects of five tanshinones, the lipophilic components from Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), on CYP2C19 activity in pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs).
METHODS
The effects of tanshinones on CYP2C19 activity were compared by enzyme inhibition study using
Miltirone, a tanshinone isolated from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been characterized as a low-affinity ligand for central benzodiazepine receptors. We have now shown that this compound bound with low affinity (micromolar range) to central benzodiazepine recognition sites but did not
In a medium throughput screen of 880 plant and fungal extracts for antiprotozoal activity, a dichloromethane extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza roots was active against both Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Plasmodium falciparum. With HPLC-based activity profiling in combination with on- and off-line
Salvia miltiorrhiza contains a variety of anti-tumor active ingredient, such as the water-soluble components (salvianolic acid A, salvianolic acid B, salvinal) and liposoluble constituents (tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, dihydrotanshinone I, miltirone, cryptotanshinone, ailantholide,
Miltirone is one of the bioactive diterpene quinones isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. This compound has been found to possess significant anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the metabolic fate of miltirone remains unknown. In order to explore
Previous studies have shown that major tanshinones isolated from Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) inhibited human and rat CYP450 enzymes-mediated metabolism of model probe substrates, with potential in causing herb-drug interactions. Miltirone, another abietane type-diterpene quinone isolated from
