Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Tanshinone I is a diterpene with anticancer, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective properties. It inhibits proliferation in a variety of cancer cell lines, including KB/VCR, MCF-7/ADR, and K562/A02 multidrug resistance cell lines. It inhibits topoisomerase I- and topoisomerase II-mediated supercoiled DNA relaxation activity and inhibits proliferation of H358-IR and H157-IR radioresistant lung cancer cells. It reduces plasma levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and nonesterified fatty acids and decreases blood glucose levels in a rat model of type 2 diabetes induced by streptozotocin and a high-fat diet. Tanshinone I reduces the LPS-induced expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in microglia. It is neuroprotective in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease induced by MPTP, preventing dopaminergic cell death in the striatum and improving motor function.
