Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is one of the main compositions in the root of red-rooted salvia. Tanshinone IIA may suppress angiogenesis by targeting the protein kinase domains of VEGF/VEGFR2.

VEGF/VEGFR2^[1]

The anti-tumor effect of Tanshinone IIA includes inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, disturbing tumor cell cycle, promoting tumor cell apoptosis, and inhibiting tumor cell invasion and transfer. Tanshinone IIA has anti-proliferative effects on A549 cells: the IC₅₀ of Tanshinone IIA after 24, 48 and 72 h are 145.3, 30.95 and 11.49 μM, respectively. The CCK-8 assay is used to evaluate the proliferative activity of A549 cells treated with Tanshinone IIA (2.5-80 μM) for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. The CCK-8 results show that Tanshinone IIA can significantly inhibit A549 cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Obvious apoptosis and cell growth inhibition of A549 cells are observed after drug treatment for 48 h (concentrations used are approximately IC₅₀ values: Tanshinone IIA 31 μM on A549). Western blotting finds that 48 h exposures to Tanshinone IIA (31 μM) in A549 cells, downregulates expression of VEGF and VEGFR2 protein in both drug treatment groups vs. vehicle^[1]. Tanshinone IIA, one of the most abundant constituents of the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, protects rat myocardium-derived H9C2 cells against apoptosis. Treatment of H9C2 cells with Tanshinone IIA inhibits angiotensin II-induced apoptosis by downregulating the expression of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), a tumor suppressor that plays a critical role in apoptosis. Tanshinone IIA inhibits angiotensin II (AngII)-induced apoptosis by downregulating the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)^[2]. Tanshinone IIA decreases the protein expression of EGFR, and IGFR blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in gastric carcinoma AGS cells^[3].

Tanshinone IIA (10 or 20 mg/kg; p.o) significantly reverses scopolamine-induced cognitive impairments^[4].
Tanshinone IIA (2, 4, 8 mg/kg; i.p.) mediated protective effects on the STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy may be associates with the reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress via attenuating PERK signaling activities^[5].
Tanshinone IIA (3 and 12 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly inhibits the growth of ectopic endometrium^[6].
