OBJECTIVE To study the anti-tumor effect of tanshinon II A, tetrandrine, honokiol, curcumin, oridonin and paeonol on leukemia cell lines SUP-B15, K562, CEM, HL-60 and NB4. METHODS To study the anti-tumor effect of tanshinone II A, tetrandrine, honokiol, curcumin, The leukemia cell lines were exposed

OBJECTIVE To investigate the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis-associated genes expression of both human breast cancer cells with estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) which treated with tanshinone II A, and to elucidate its mechanism of activity. METHODS Human ER

OBJECTIVE To confirm Tanshinone II A's (Tan II A) anti-cancer activity on nude mice bearing human breast cancer cells with estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative and to elucidate the mechanism of its activity in vivo. METHODS Established the animal model of nude mices bearing human breast

Treatment with the combination of Chinese herbs and cytotoxic chemotherapies showed a higher survival rate in clinical trials. In this report, the results demonstrated that the tanshinone II A, a key component of Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge, when it is combined with the cytotoxic drug cisplatin showed

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer death in American women, with over 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women and about 39,840 deaths from breast cancer in 2010. Current therapies for breast cancer usually have variable effectiveness

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of tanshinone II, isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: Control, LPS and tanshinone II. Animals in the tanshinone II and

OBJECTIVE Tanshinone II-A is an alcohol extract of the root of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, whose effects and mechanism in tumor metastasis are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of tanshinone II-A on tumor invasion and

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of tanshinone II-A, an alcohol extract of the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, on tumor invasion and metastasis of human colon carcinoma (CRC) cells. METHODS The effects of tanshinone II-A on invasion and metastasis of CRC cell lines

Tanshinone II-A (TSN) is the most abundant diterpene quinone isolated from Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), which has been used in treating cardiovascular diseases for more than 2000 years in China. Interest in its versatile protective effects in cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative diseases,

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. Lack of effective pharmacotherapies for cervical cancer mainly attributed to an elusive understanding of the mechanism underlying its pathogenesis. Pyroptosis plays a key role in inflammation and cancer. Our study identified

OBJECTIVE Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is effective in the treatment of inflammation and atherosclerosis. The adhesion of inflammatory cells to vascular endothelium plays important role in atherogenic processes. This study examined the effects of Tan IIA on expression of adhesion molecules in tumor

BACKGROUND Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional Asian medicine used to treat cerebral and cardiac ischemia. However, the effects of the active compounds of S. miltiorrhiza on liver damage are unclear. OBJECTIVE In this study, we tested the effects on acute liver injury of crude S. miltiorrhiza

The tanshinone natural products possess a variety of pharmacological properties including anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-neoplastic activity. The molecular basis of these effects, however, remains largely unknown. In the present study, we explored the direct effect of

Tanshinone I (T1) and tanshinone II (T2) are the major diterpenes isolated from Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge). Three human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, A549, CL1-0, and CL1-5, were treated with T1 and T2 for the in vitro antitumor test. Results showed that T1 was more effective than T2 in
