Tanshinones are a group of diterpenoids found in the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge which has been used to treat cardiac disease. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the tanshinone congeners, tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, cryptotanshinone, and 15, 16-dihydrotanshinone I, on learning and memory impairments induced by scopolamine (1 mg/kg, i.p.), a muscarinic antagonist, using passive avoidance tasks in mice. Tacrine was used as a positive control. Tanshinone I (2 or 4 mg/kg, p.o.), tanshinone IIA (10 or 20 mg/kg, p.o.), cryptotanshinone (10 mg/kg, p.o.), and 15, 16-dihydrotanshinone I (2 or 4 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reversed scopolamine-induced cognitive impairments (P<0.05). Tanshinone I (2 mg/kg, p.o.) and tanshinone IIA (10 or 20 mg/kg, p.o.) were also reversed diazepam-induced cognitive dysfunctions (P<0.05). In addition, cryptotanshinone and 15, 16-dihydrotanshinone I were found to have an inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase in vitro with IC(50) values 82 and 25 microM, respectively. Furthermore, cryptotanshinone inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity for 3 h and 15, 16-dihydrotanshinone I for 6 h in an ex-vivo study. These results suggest that tanshinone congeners may be useful for the treatment of cognitive impairment and that their beneficial effects are mediated, in part, by cholinergic signaling enhancement.
