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)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phenanthrenequinone constituent of Chinese medicinal herb Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza). Modulates or prevents breast cancer metastasis by regulating adhesion molecules. Anti-inflammatory.
