Drought is a serious threat worldwide to soybean and maize production. This study was conducted to discern the impact of salvianolic acid treatment on osmotic-stressed soybean ( L.) and maize ( L.) seedlings from the perspective of physiochemical and molecular reactions. Examination of varied salvianolic acid concentrations (0, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, and 25 μM) on soybean and maize seedling growth confirmed that the 0.1 and 1 μM concentrations, respectively, showed an improvement in agronomic traits. Likewise, the investigation ascertained how salvianolic acid application could retrieve osmotic-stressed plants. Soybean and maize seedlings were irrigated with water or 25% PEG for 8 days. The results indicated that salvianolic acid application promoted the survival of the 39-day-old osmotic-stressed soybean and maize plants. The salvianolic acid-treated plants retained high photosynthetic pigments, protein, amino acid, fatty acid, sugar, and antioxidant contents, and demonstrated low hydrogen peroxide and lipid contents under osmotic stress conditions. Gene transcription pattern certified that salvianolic acid application led to an increased expression of , and genes, and a diminished expression of , and genes. Together, our results indicate the utility of salvianolic acid to enhance the osmotic endurance of soybean and maize plants.

Background: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is potentially the most valuable water-soluble active component in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Its chemical formula contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, so it has a strong antioxidant capacity.

Objective: We aim to investigate the efficacy and the potential mechanism of Sal B in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke injury.

Article Synopsis
  • Ferritin is an iron storage protein that could serve as a new type of iron supplement, but its function can be influenced by food components like phenolic acids.
  • The study found that salvianolic acid B (SalB) interacts with ferritin and iron ions primarily through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, promoting iron oxidation while having a slower release rate compared to ascorbic acid.
  • The research highlights the potential use of SalB in improving the efficiency of ferritin as an iron supplement and emphasizes the importance of phenolic acids in food applications.

Repair of osteoporotic bone defects (OBD) remains a clinical challenge due to dysregulated bone homeostasis, characterized by impaired osteogenesis and excessive osteoclast activity. While drug-loaded 3D-printed scaffolds hold great potential in the restoration of bone homeostasis for enhanced OBD repair, achieving the controlled release and targeted delivery of drugs in a 3D-printed scaffold is still unmet. Herein, we developed an electrostatic encapsulation strategy to motivate 3D-printed polyelectrolyte scaffolds (APS@P) with bone-targeting liposome formulation of salvianolic acid B (SAB-BTL).
