Article Synopsis
- Chinese dragon's blood is a red resin used in China to help treat heart and brain problems, especially after a stroke.
- Longxuetongluo Capsule (LTC) is made from this resin and is being studied to see how it can protect heart cells from damage after blood flow returns to the heart.
- In experiments with rats and heart cells, researchers found that LTC might help reduce damage to the heart by fixing some of the cell problems caused by low oxygen and sugar levels.

Dragon's Blood resin (DBR) is a traditional medicinal substance renowned for its diverse pharmacological effects, which consists of potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and angiogenic properties. This study aimed to elucidate its therapeutic mechanism in alleviating steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). Techniques such as SPR and LC-MS were employed to identify and analyze the target proteins of DBR in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs).
