Product Data
Biological target:
Salvianolic acid B is an active ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza, which has been widely applied in China for the management of various microcirculation-related disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetic vascular complication.
In vitro activity:
In vitro, Sal-B (salvianolic acid B) inhibited the proliferation and activation of inflammatory pathways in RAW264.7 cells. In addition, Sal-B had an inhibitory effect on nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells (NF-κB) signalling. Reference: Aesthet Surg J. 2022 Dec 20:sjac334. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36536993/
In vivo activity:
In CCl4-induced mouse liver fibrosis, intraperitoneal administration of SAB (salvianolic acid B) (30 mg · kg-1 · d-1, for 4 weeks) significantly alleviated hepatic fibrogenesis by inhibiting the activation of HSCs and collagen deposition. In addition, SAB displayed better anti-inflammatory effects in CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Reference: Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2023 Jan 10. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36627345/
