Tanshinones are a class of chemical compounds. Examples include dihydrotanshinone, tanshinone I, or tanshinone IIA. These compounds are all naturally occurring and can all be isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza.[1][2]
Dihydrotanshinone I has been reported to have cytotoxicity to a variety of tumor cells.[3]
Tanshinone I is anti-inflammatory, and modulates or prevents breast cancer metastasis by regulating adhesion molecules.[4]
Tanshinone IIA is anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant, and cytotoxic against a variety of cell lines.[5]
