Phenanthrenequinone constituent of Chinese medicinal herb Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza). Modulates or prevents breast cancer metastasis by regulating adhesion molecules.Anti-inflammatory.
TanshinoneI is extensively studied for its anticancer properties, it was reported to inhibit cancer cell invasion, metastasis, and migration and is a potent antitumor agent. It also displays antibacterial, neuroprotective, memory-enhancing, and cardioprotective activities.

General description

Tanshinone I (Tan I) is a phenolic compound primarily isolated from Danshen. It has an abietane diterpene norditerpenoid o-quinones structure. Tan I have poor water solubility.

Application

Tanshinone 1 has been used:
  • to test its hematopoiesis effects on human leukemia cell lines and zebrafish xenograft models
  • to study its anti-cancer effects on two breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-23)
  • as a reference standard to quantify the bioactive component S. miltiorrhiza extract (SME) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Promotion of endothelial normalization restores tumor oxygenation and obstructs tumor cells invasion, intravasation, and metastasis. We therefore investigated whether a vasoactive drug, tanshinone IIA, could inhibit metastasis by inducing vascular normalization after palliative resection (PR) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A

Angiogenesis plays a significant role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) appears to be involved with multiple aspects of CRC angiogenesis. Our aim was to investigate the inhibitory effects of Tan II-A (Tanshinone II-A, Tan II-A) on tumor growth

We previously showed that tanshinone IIA ameliorated the hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) partially by attenuating pulmonary artery remodeling. The hypoxia-induced proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is one of the major causes for pulmonary arterial remodeling, therefore the

We have recently reported that tanshinone IIA attenuated cardiac fibrosis in two-kidney, two-clip renovascular hypertensive rats via inhibiting NAD(P)H oxidase. However, little is known about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tanshinone IIA mediated anti-fibrotic effects in cardiac fibroblasts after
