A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and cryptotanshinone, the active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza in rat plasma, was developed. After
5,16-dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) is extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (tanshen root) and was found to be the most effective compound of tanshen extracts against breast cancer cells in our previous studies. However, whether DHTS can induce apoptosis through an endoplasmic reticular (ER) stress
OBJECTIVE
Dihydrotanshinone is a lipophilic component of the medicinal herb Salvia miltiorrhiza (danshen) belonging to the family of Labiatae. In this study, we have investigated the mechanisms of its relaxant effect on rat-isolated coronary artery.
METHODS
Rat coronary artery rings were
Salvia miltiorrhiza is one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cryptotanshinone (CTS), tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), dihydrotanshinone I (diTan I), and tanshinone I (Tan I) are the main active compounds in the liposoluble
Background: Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor, with relatively lower survival rates in adolescents. Dihydrotanshinone I (DHI) was extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza and was shown to inhibit several types of cancer. Purpose: To explore the
BACKGROUND
15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT-I), isolated from the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bung, which is traditionally used to treat cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases agent in Chinese medicine. DHT-I has been reported to have a broad range of biological activities, including
Microglial activation has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, inhibition of inflammation mediated by microglia is a strategy in neurodegenerative disease therapy. In this study, we isolated cryptotanshinone and 15,16-dihydrotanshinone I from Salvia miltiorrhiza, a traditional
The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in tanshinones-induced apoptosis was investigated in HepG2 cells in this study. The major tanshinones (cryptotanshinone, dihydrotanshinone, tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA), isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza,
Alzhemier's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia in the ageing population which is characterized by depositions of amyloids and a cholinergic neurotransmission deficit in the brain. Current therapeutic intervention for AD is primarily based on the inhibition of brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE)
Dihydrotanshinone I (DI), a naturally occurring compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has been reported to have cytotoxicity to a variety of tumor cells. In this study, we investigated its anti-angiogenic capacity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. DI induced a potent
15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) is a component of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. In this study, DHTS at as low as 2.5 μg/ml concentration significantly inhibited proliferation of human benign (SW480) and malignant (SW620) colorectal cancer cells, as shown by
Dihydrotanshinone I induced topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage in vitro as strongly as camptothecin, but topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage was not affected. In a DNA relaxation assay using calf thymus DNA topoisomerase I and supercoiled pBR322 plasmid DNA, dihydrotanshinone I reduced
Temozolomide is the primary chemotherapeutic agent used to treat glioblastoma. However, many tumors are initially resistant to or develop resistance to temozolomide, mainly due to high levels of O6-methylguanine DNA transferase (MGMT) which repairs DNA damage traditionally caused by temozolomide.
Exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a causative factor in skin photocarcinogenesis and photoaging, and an urgent need exists for improved strategies for skin photoprotection. The redox-sensitive transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2), a master regulator of the
Tanshinone I and its analogue dihydrotanshinone I are the major active components isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and Salvia Przewalskii Maxim. These compounds have been found to possess significant antibacterial, anti-dermatophytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities.
