Dihydrotanshinone I (DHI), a diterpenoid first isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is a relatively high affinity inhibitor of human AChE. Dihydrotanshinone I (10 and 25 mg/kg) significantly attenuates atherosclerotic plaque formation, alteres serum lipid profile, decreases oxidative stress and shrinks necrotic core areas in ApoE-/- mice. Dihydrotanshinone I dramatically inhibits the enhanced expression of LOX-1, NOX4, and NF-κB in aorta. Dihydrotanshinone I treatment can improve cardiac function, reduce infarct size, ameliorate the variations in myocardial zymogram and histopathological disorders, decrease 20-HETE generation, and regulate apoptosis-related protein in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion rats.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Mice: Dihydrotanshinone I (10 and 25 mg/kg) significantly attenuates atherosclerotic plaque formation, alteres serum lipid profile, decreases oxidative stress and shrinks necrotic core areas in ApoE-/- mice.

Route of Administration: Intragastric

In Vitro Use Guide

In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), Dihydrotanshinone I (10 nM) decreased lectin-like ox-LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) and NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, NF-κB nuclear translocation, ox-LDL endocytosis and monocytes adhesion.
