A rapid and sensitive method based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of tanshinone IIA and its three hydroxylated metabolites, tanshinone IIB, hydroxytanshinone IIA and przewaquinone A, in a rat liver microsome was developed and fully validated. A single step of liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate was utilized in this method. Chromatographic separation of the sample matrix from the analytes and the internal standard diazepam was performed using a Shim-pack VP-ODS analytical column. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source and operated in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The method was linear in the concentration range of 1-500 ng/mL for all analytes. The intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD %) were within 15% and deviations of the assay accuracies were within 15.0% for all analytes. The analytes proved to be stable during sample storage, preparation and analyses. This validated method was successfully applied to the enzyme kinetic study of tanshinone IIA in liver microsome. The elimination of tanshinone IIA and formation of tanshinone IIB and hydroxytanshinone IIA in the liver microsome all exhibited a sigmoidal kinetics profile. The formation of przewaquinone A shows a typical hyperbolic profile. In addition, this method has now been applied in the analysis of other bio-samples including plasma, urine, bile and feces.

Introduction: With the increasing prevalence of hypertension, the incidence of kidney diseases is also increasing, resulting in a serious public burden. Jiangya Tongluo decoction (JYTL), a recognized prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is commonly used to calm an overactive liver and reduce excess yang, while also promoting blood flow to alleviate obstructions in the meridians. Previous research has indicated that JYTL may help mitigate kidney damage caused by hypertension; however, the underlying mechanisms have not been thoroughly assessed.

Background: Danshen [Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Lamiaceae; Salviae miltiorrhizae radix et rhizoma)] class injections (DSCIs) are widely used in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). However, there are various types of DSCIs available on the market, and it remains uncertain which DSCI has the best clinical efficacy, as well as which one is most effective in regulating inflammatory markers and oxidative stress indicators. The aim of this network meta-analysis (NMA) is to compare the therapeutic effects of different DSCIs to identify the optimal DSCI for the treatment of CHD.

Salvia miltiorrhiza, the anticancer properties of these components are multifaceted, encompassing the inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of the metastatic spread of cancer cells, enhancement of the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and the suppression of angiogenesis, which is crucial for tumor growth and survival. In the context of our recent study, we have discovered that tanshinone I, one of the active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza, possesses the ability to inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, both in laboratory settings and within living organisms. To further understand the molecular mechanisms behind this effect, we conducted a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis.
