Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP) is an important drug widely used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. An active component Danshensu (DS) of CDDP was separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography using column-switching system and analyzed by electrospray mass spectrometry. With this validated assay the pharmacokinetics of CDDP was studied in 10 healthy volunteers after a single oral administration of 250 mg. After trichloroacetic acid precipitation of serum proteins, the analytes were preconcentrated and black-flushed on a reversed-phase column for separation using a switching valve. The analytes were ionized using negative electrospray ionization (ESI) mode. The precursor ion of m/z 196.6 was used to quantify DS in serum. The linear calibration curve ranged from 1.25 to 175 microg/mL. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for DS was 0.15 microg/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision (R.S.D.) was less than 7.4 and 7.9%, respectively.

Antiviral agents that target the viral envelope surface glycoproteins can disrupt the interactions between the viral glycoproteins and host cell receptors, thereby preventing viral entry into host cells. However, the mechanisms underlying glycoprotein processing and cellular trafficking have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of action of cryptotanshinone (CTN) and dihydrotanshinone I (DTN) as inhibitors of viral glycoprotein trafficking, by assessing their inhibitory action on syncytium formation and cytopathic effects.

This study aims to reveal the effect and mechanism of Dendrobii Officinalis Caulis water extract on the rat model of hyperviscosity induced by a high-sugar, high-salt, and high-fat diet. Thirty-six male SD rats were randomized into normal, model, Compound Danshen Tablets(0.5 g·kg~(-1)), and low-, medium-, and high-dose(0.

A total of 387 clinical studies and 18 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis involving 45 Chinese patent medicines commonly used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia in recent ten years were retrieved from Chinese and English academic publication databases. The article information was extracted by reading the abstract and full text, and the evidence of publication trend, combined medication, intervention course, complications, and outcome indicators was sorted out.

Impaired renal gluconeogenesis is recently identified as a hallmark of chronic kidney disease. However, the therapeutic approach to promote renal gluconeogenesis in CKD is still lacking. We aimed to study whether Salvianolic acid C (SAC), a nature compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Danshen, inhibits renal fibrosis through promotion of gluconeogenesis.

Background: It is known that ferroptosis promotes hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) inactivation. Arachidonate 15-Lipoxygenase (ALOX15), a ferroptosis driver gene, participates in disease progression.
Purpose: Dihydrotanshinone I (DHI), an active compound from Salvia miltiorrhiza, effectively regulates HSC inactivation.
