Salvianolic acid A is a polyphenolic compound with multi-target pharmacological activities. Salvianolic acid A inhibits the activity of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway by targeting TGF-β receptor I (TβRI) and downregulates the expression of MMP9 protein. Salvianolic acid A is commonly used in cardiovascular diseases and organ fibrosis research.

Salvianolic acid A is a polyphenolic compound with multi-target pharmacological activities. Salvianolic acid A inhibits the activity of the TGF-β1 signaling pathway by targeting TGF-β receptor I (TβRI) and downregulates the expression of MMP9 protein[1]. Salvianolic acid A is commonly used in cardiovascular diseases and organ fibrosis research. Derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), Salvianolic acid A suppresses mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, maintains ATPase activity, eliminates superoxide, and exhibits strong antioxidant and neuroprotective effects[2]. Additionally, Salvianolic acid A demonstrates broad pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antifibrotic properties[3, 4].
In vitro, in a hemorrhagic stroke model using hemin-incubated cortical neuronal cells, Salvianolic acid A (30-60μM) improved cell viability, enhanced the expression of Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (XCT) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production[5]. In hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury models, Salvianolic acid A (0.25-16μM) treatment significantly increased cell viability and proliferation, reduced H₂O₂-induced cell death and oxidative stress, downregulated cell cycle-related proteins p53 and p21, and upregulated cyclin E1 levels[6].
In vivo, In chloroform-induced liver fibrosis rats treated with Salvianolic acid A (5, 15 mg/kg/day) via intraperitoneal injection for 6 weeks, Salvianolic acid A alleviated hepatic inflammation and fibrosis, reduced collagen deposition and pseudolobule formation, and decreased serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), type IV collagen (CIV), and N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP)[7]. In gentamicin-induced acute kidney injury rats treated with Salvianolic acid A (10, 20, 40mg/kg/day) via intraperitoneal injection for 7 days, Salvianolic acid A reduced renal index, serum levels of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), as well as urinary protein levels[8].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HUVEC cells |
Preparation Method | HUVEC cells were seeded in 96-well plates (1 × 104 cells/mL, 100 μL/well), Cells were exposed to 200μM H2O2 for 12 h in serum-free medium following 24 h of normal culture. After H2O2 inducing, cells were treated with different concentrations of Salvianolic acid A (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16μM) for 24h. CCK-8 was added into each well and incubated at 37 °C for 2h. The absorbance was measured at 450nm. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16μM; 24h |
Applications | Salvianolic acid A improved the cell viability of H2O2 inducing HUVEC cells. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | Male Sprague-Dawley rats were received CCl4 orally to induce liver fibrosis. Thereafter, the rats were intraperitoneally administered Salvianolic acid A (5 or 15mg/kg) once daily for 6 successive weeks. Blood samples were obtained from the abdominal aorta. The tissue samples of liver were fixed in 10% neutral formalin. Remaining tissues from the liver were stored at −80°C for future use. |
Dosage form | 5 and 10mg/kg/day for 6 weeks; i.p. |
Applications | Salvianolic acid A alleviated liver injury, fibrosis, hepatocyte apoptosis, and serum level of hydroxyproline. |
