Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cryptotanshinone serves as the principal bioactive constituent of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, possesses a wide range of pharmacological activities. Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, a long-standing therapeutic agent in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice, is renowned for its efficacy in enhancing blood circulation and alleviating blood stasis and infarction, thereby treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Aim Of The Study: Platelet activation, when excessive or aberrant, poses a significant risk, catalyzing the onset of various thrombotic disorders.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Purpose Of Review: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic condition characterized by disproportional pain typically affecting an extremity. Management of CRPS is centered around specific symptomatology, which tends to be a combination of autonomic dysfunction, nociceptive sensitization, chronic inflammation, and/or motor dysfunction. Targeting the autoimmune component of CRPS provides a way to both symptomatically treat as well as minimize progression of CRPS.

Extrinsic apoptotic network is driven by Death Ligand (DL)-mediated activation of procaspase-8. Recently, we have developed the first-in class small molecule, FLIPinB, which specifically targets the key regulator of extrinsic apoptosis, the protein c-FLIP, in the caspase-8/c-FLIP heterodimer. We have shown that FLIPinB enhances DL-induced caspase-8 activity and apoptosis.
