dihydrotanshinone/necrosis

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious nervous system injury, causing extremely low quality of life and immensurable economic losses. However, there is few therapies that can effectively cure the injury. The goal of the present study was to explore the potential therapeutic effects of

Objective To evaluate whether dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS1) attenuates cuprizone-induced demyelination. Methods DHTS1 was dissolved in 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). The cuprizone model was induced via feeding with the diet containing 2 g/L cuprizone. We administrated DHTS1 to the

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

Dihydrotanshinone (DHT), one of the major ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen), displays many bioactivities. However, the activity and underlying mechanism of DHT in anti-inflammation have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity and

Post-transcriptional regulation is an essential determinant of gene expression programs in physiological and pathological conditions. HuR is a RNA-binding protein that orchestrates the stabilization and translation of mRNAs, critical in inflammation and tumor progression, including tumor necrosis

Dihydrotanshinone I (DHI), a lipophilic component of traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, has various therapeutic effects. We investigated the anti-fibrotic effect of DHI and its underlying mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. Rats subjected to bile duct ligation (BDL) were treated

Chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis (CIM) is a principal reason for reduced living quality of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Growing evidence showed gut microbiota played an important role in the development of intestinal mucositis. Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) is a liposoluble extract of

The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) controls many physiological processes including inflammation, immunity, and apoptosis. In this study, a novel series of 6-phenoxy-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine-3-carboxamide derivatives were synthesized as potent anti-inflammatory agents, which

Aims. This study aims to investigate the possible synergistic interactions of the Danshen-Sanqi combination on vascular disease via their anti-inflammatory activities. Methods. Nine combination ratios of Danshen-Sanqi extracts were screened in the RAW264.7 cell line and their anti-inflammatory

BACKGROUND Salvia miltiorrhiza var. alba roots are used as the Chinese traditional medicine Danshen for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in local clinical practice. Tanshinones are the major effective constituents of S. miltiorrhiza var. alba roots, but only tanshinone IIA, tanshinone I,
