The Jasmonate-Responsive SmMPK3-SmWRKY33 Module Positively Regulates Tanshinone Biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tanshinones, the major bioactive diterpenes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, are widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. While jasmonates (JAs) are known to modulate tanshinones accumulation, the molecular link between JA signalling and tanshinone biosynthesis remains unclear.

Total Syntheses of Tanshinone-I, Tanshinone-II and Cryptotanshinone [PDF]
Abstract Total syntheses of tanshinone-II (II) and cryptotanshinone (III) from 3-methylbenzofuran-4, 7-quinone (X) and 6,6-dimethyl-l-vinylcyclohexene (IX), and of tanshinone-I (I) from quinone X and o-methylstyrene (XVIII) are described. Preliminary accounts for the Diels-Alder reaction of methoxybenzoquinone revealed that the effect of

Tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, and cryptotanshinone: key bioactive components modulating vascular smooth muscle cell function. [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality among non-communicable diseases worldwide. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), as the predominant cellular component of the tunica media, are essential for maintaining vascular homeostasis through phenotype-dependent regulation of vascular tone, blood pressure, and hemodynamics ...
