Recently we have isolated four active components from Tanshen (the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Labiatae) responsible for the anti-allergic activities. In this study, the molecular mechanism of action of tanshinones for the inhibition of mast cell degranulation was investigated by testing
Twenty-four new sesterterpenes, compounds 1-24, were isolated from the aerial parts of Salvia dominica. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments as well as ESIMS analysis and chemical methods. The evaluation of the biological activity of Salvia dominica sesterterpenes by means
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator that plays an important role in many signaling pathways, especially those associated with insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the anti-diabetic potential of 12 natural tanshinones isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza (S.
A novel tyrosine aminotransferase gene (designated as SmTAT) involved in rosmarinic acid biosynthesis pathway is cloned from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bung. The full-length cDNA of SmTAT is 1,603 bp long with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,233 bp encoding a polypeptide of 411 amino acid residues. The
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a type of chronic skin inflammation and one of the most common relapsing allergic diseases, which presents with a severe rash and itchy skin lesions. The pathogenesis of AD is primarily associated with hyper‑activated mast cells, which makes them an effective treatment
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional Chinese medicine, and its water-soluble phenolic acid active compounds have very important medicinal value; however, the synthesis pathways of the main active ingredients remain unknown. Here, we employed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics
Rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B are two important phenolic compounds with therapeutic properties in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. The biosynthesis of rosmarinic acid is initiated by two parallel pathways, namely the phenylpropanoid pathway and the tyrosine-derived pathway. Salvianolic acid B is
Exposure of endothelial cells to tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) results in increased endothelial permeability, accompanied by a loss of cell-cell adherence junctions. The importance of tyrosine phosphatase and kinase activity in oxidant-mediated loss of cell junction structures has been
Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is a reactive oxidant formed from superoxide and nitric oxide that can readily oxidize cellular components, including essential protein, non-protein thiols, and DNA. ONOO(-) has contributed to the pathogenesis of diseases such as stroke, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease,
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) acts as a negative regulator of insulin signaling, and selective inhibition of PTP1B has served as a potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In the course of screening for PTP1B inhibitory natural products, the MeOH extract of the dried
Polyphenol oxidase(PPO) is an important antioxidant enzyme in plants. It has the functions of scavenging active oxygen and synthesizing phenols, lignin, and plant protection factors, and can enhance the plant's resistance to stress and resistance to pests and diseases. Our previous research found
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a highly valued natural phenolic compound that is very commonly found in plants of the families Lamiaceae and Boraginaceae, including Coleus blumei, Heliotropium foertherianum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Perilla frutescens, and Salvia officinalis. RA is also found in other
The tanshinones and phenolic acids in Salvia miltiorrhiza (also named Danshen) have been confirmed for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the action mechanisms remain elusive.In the current study, the co-expression protein interaction In this study, the effects of the extract and four tanshinone compounds from the dried root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Labiatae) on the tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor (IR) beta-subunit and the downstream signaling were examined in Chinese-hamster ovary cells expressing human
