General description

DihydrotanshinoneI (DHTS) is a tanshinone derivative which is a soluble diterpene quinone pigment of danshen.

Application

Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) has been used:
  • to study its cytocidal effects on chemosensitive ovarian cancer cells with or without platinum-based chemotherapy
  • as a treatment to study its inhibitory effects on triple-negative breast cancer cells growth by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers
  • as a potential SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) inhibitor
  • as a human antigen R (HuR) inhibitor to study its role in Th17 cell differentiation related to autoimmune neuroinflammation
  • as a reference standard to analyze Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge extract (SME) components using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dihydrotanshinone Iis a potent anti-cancer agent with its cytotoxic, apoptosis, cell cycle arresteffects and inhibition of angiogenesis, and metastasis in cancer cells. Italso exerts cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects. DHTS isan anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), anti-allergic,anti-Alzheimer’s disease properties. It is also effective againstdrug-resistant cancer cells.
Tanshinone extracted from a herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza, commonly used in Chinese traditional medicine. A significant decrease in tumor growth was observed using dihydrotanshinone I and irradiation treatment with mouse xenograft model.
