Dihydrotanshinone I protects human chondrocytes and alleviates damage from spontaneous osteoarthritis in a guinea pig model. [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease. Currently, no satisfactory pharmacological treatment exists for OA. The potential anti-inflammatory properties of Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT) have been reported, but its effects on OA are ...

Enhanced Bioavailability of Dihydrotanshinone I-Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles for Stroke Therapy. [PDF]
Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT) is a natural component in Salvia miltiorrhiza and has been widely researched for its multiple bioactivities. However, poor solubility and biocompatibility of DHT limit its desirable application for clinical purposes. Herein, DHT was encapsulated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to enhance bioavailability.

Dihydrotanshinone I inhibits human glioma cell proliferation via the activation of ferroptosis. [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dihydrotanshinone I (DHI) on the survival of human glioma cells and the expression levels of ferroptosis-associated proteins. Human U251 and U87 glioma cells were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of DHI and/or the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1.
