Dihydrotanshinone I is the principal lipophilic phenanthioquinone compound found in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, with antitumor properties [1]. Dihydrotanshinone I mainly induced intrinsic apoptosis mediated by regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins and activation of caspases, which included decreasing mitochondria membrane potential, inhibiting expression of anti-apoptotic protein such as Bcl-xL, Bcl-2[2]. Dihydrotanshinone I has been widely used to inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria and to suppress the expression of pro-inflammatory genes[3].
In vitro, Dihydrotanshinone I significantly inhibited the proliferation of U-2 OS cells, HeLa cells, and NRK-49F cells after 24 hours of treatment, with IC50 values of 3.83μM, 15.48μM, and 25.00μM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 20μM Dihydrotanshinone I for 24 hours significantly induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells, accompanied by an increase in caspase-3/9 levels and the degradation of p62[5]. Treatment of MDA-MB-468 cells with 1μM Dihydrotanshinone I for 24 hours resulted in decreased expression of mesenchymal markers (such as vimentin, N-cadherin and active β-catenin), and inhibition of colony formation[6].
In vivo, Dihydrotanshinone I treatment via oral administration at a dose of 25mg/kg/day for three consecutive days alleviated the pathological changes of colitis in mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS), and inhibited the secretion of inflammatory cytokines[7]. Intraperitoneal injection of Dihydrotanshinone I (10mg/kg) was administered three times a week for 4 weeks, which inhibited the tumor growth in the MDA-MB-231 cell-xenograft mouse model[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HCT116 cells |
Preparation Method | HCT116 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100mg/l penicillin G and 100U/ml streptomycin, under conditions of 37℃ and 5% CO2. The cells were inoculated into 24-well plates and cultured at 37℃ overnight. Cells were treated with different concentrations of Dihydrotanshinone I (0.325, 6.25, 12,5, and 20µM) for 24 hours. The 0.1% (v/v) DMSO solution was used as the solvent control group. After 24 hours, the apoptosis of the cells was detected. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.325, 6.25, 12,5, and 20µM; 24h |
Applications | Dihydrotanshinone I treatment induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Balb/cAnN-Foxn1 nude mice |
Preparation Method | Male Balb/cAnN-Foxn1 nude mice (4-5 weeks old) were housed in a standard animal room for 1-2 weeks before the experiment. Each group consisted of 5 mice, and 5×106 MDA-MB-231 cells were subcutaneously injected between the scapulae of each mouse. One week after transplantation, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 40μl DMSO (control group) or 10mg/kg Dihydrotanshinone I three times a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation, and tumor specimens were collected, photographed, and weighed. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; three times a week for 4 weeks; i.p. |
Applications | Dihydrotanshinone I treatment reduced the tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 cell-xenograft mouse models. |
