| Targets |
Dihydrotanshinone I targets multiple cellular pathways including acetylcholinesterase, bacterial enzymes, and cancer cell survival pathways; it exhibits potent anti-cancer activity through induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and cytotoxic effects on tumor cells.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Dihydrotanshinone I (10 nM) inhibits NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and lectin-like ox-LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) that have been activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). expression, ox-LDL endocytosis, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear translocation of NF-κB, and monocyte labeling [1]. In HCT116 cells, dihydrotanshinone I produces cytokines that are dependent on caspase. Dihydrotanshinone I-induced cell induction was totally inhibited by concentrations of the dihydrotanshinone I-inducing agent and by ROS-dependent Z-VAD-fmk. Orthopedic treatment of Z-LEHD-fmk greatly prevented dihydrotanshinone I-induced cell induction, whereas Z-IETD-fmk only marginally inhibited it. Apoptosis produced by dihydrotanshinone I is markedly increased by caspase-2 knockdown [3].
In vitro studies demonstrate that Dihydrotanshinone I exhibits potent cytotoxic and apoptosis-inducing effects on various cancer cell lines, including chemosensitive ovarian cancer cells, with activity observed in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant settings. |
| ln Vivo |
Serum dye profiles were changed, the oxidative center was reduced, the central core area shortened, and ApoE-/- atherosclerotic plaques were considerably segmented by DHT (10 and 25 mg/kg). In the aorta, DHT strongly inhibits LOX-1. Treatment with 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg of dihydrotanshinone I has been shown to ameliorate myocardial enzyme spectrum and histological abnormalities, decrease infarct size, and enhance sparse myocardial reperfusion. modifications, controlling associated proteins and lowering the synthesis of 20-HETE [2].
In vivo efficacy has been demonstrated in animal models where Dihydrotanshinone I shows anti-tumor activity, though detailed in vivo pharmacokinetic and efficacy data are more extensively reported for other tanshinones; it also exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. |
| Enzyme Assay |
The in vitro enzyme assay for acetylcholinesterase inhibition involves incubating Dihydrotanshinone I with acetylcholinesterase enzyme and acetylthiocholine substrate, measuring the production of thiocholine via Ellman's method (absorbance at 412 nm), with IC50 values calculated from inhibition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell culture studies utilize cancer cell lines (e.g., ovarian cancer, breast cancer, leukemia cells) treated with Dihydrotanshinone I for 24-72 hours, with cell viability assessed by MTT or CCK-8 assays, apoptosis detected by Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry, and cell cycle analysis performed by propidium iodide staining.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments involve administering Dihydrotanshinone I to tumor-bearing mice (xenograft models) via intraperitoneal or intravenous injection, monitoring tumor volume and weight, assessing survival outcomes, and performing histopathological analysis of tumor tissues for apoptosis markers and proliferation indices.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Dihydrotanshinone I is a lipophilic compound with molecular weight 278.3 g/mol and formula C18H14O3; it is stable for up to 24 months when stored at 2-8°C, typically provided as a red needle crystal with purity >98% (HPLC).
|
