Cryptotanshinone is a quinoid diterpene isolated from the root of the Asian medicinal plant, Salvia miotiorrhiza bunge. Recently it was discovered that the compound is a potent STAT3 inhibitor. Cryptotanshinone rapidly inhibited STAT3 Tyr705 phosphorylation through a JAK2-independent mechanism. Cryptotanshinone selectively inhibits STAT3-activated cell lines through binding to monomer STAT3, subsequently blocking the dimerization and inhibiting STAT3 transcriptional regulatory activity. Previously, it was reported that the compound counteracts inflammation through the inhibition of cyclooxygenase II activity and endothelin-1 expression. In traditional oriental medicine dried roots of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen) have commonly been used for the treatment of circulatory disorders, liver disease, coronary heart disease, hepatitis, and chronic renal failure.
Cryptotanshinone is a specific STAT3 inhibitor. It prevents STAT3 dimerization.

Dampening tumor growth by converting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) from M2/repair-types to M1/kill-types is of high interest. Here, we show that cryptotanshinone (CPT) can function as an antitumor immune modulator that switches TAMs from an M2 to an M1 phenotype, leading

Coronary microembolization (CME) is a prevalent cardiovascular disease, especially nowadays when percutaneous coronary intervention is widely applied. However, neither cardio-protective agents nor devices for distal protection could effectively prevent the occurrence of CME. Therefore, we aimed to develop a new
Elevated levels of adipokine chemerin have been identified in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and found to be associated with metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes. The underlying mechanism through which chemerin affects OSCC progression is unclear. The aims of
SARS-CoV-2 encodes two viral cysteine proteases, the main protease (Mpro) and the papain-like protease (PLpro), both of which are validated antiviral drug targets. PLpro is involved in the cleavage of viral polyproteins as well as immune modulation by removing ubiquitin

Cryptotanshinone (CPT), isolated from the plant Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, is a potential anticancer agent. However, the underlying mechanism remains to be defined. Here, we show that CPT inhibited lymphangiogenesis in an in vitro model (tube formation). This effect was partly
