β,β-Dimethylacrylshikonin (Arnebin-1) is a main active naphthoquinone from herbal plants Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Zicao) and Arnebia euchroma that exhibits anti-neoplasm and antihyperglycemic activities. It stimulates autophagy in lung adenocarcinoma cells through activation of CaMKKβ-AMPK-mTOR pathway. β,β-Dimethylacrylshikonin facilitates wound healing through PI3K pathway. β,β-Dimethylacrylshikonin improves nonalcoholic fatty liver disease induced by a high-fat diet in rats.
Anti-neoplasm and antihyperglycemic; facilitates wound healing through PI3K pathway.

β,β-Dimethylacrylshikonin (DMAS), an active ingredient of Lithospermum erythrorhizon and Arnebia euchroma, possess anti-neoplasm properties. Recently, DMAS was reported to stimulate autophagy in lung adenocarcinoma cells. However, the mechanisms by which DMAS modulates autophagy. have not yet been clearly elucidated. In

Arnebin-1, a naphthoquinone derivative, plays a crucial role in the wound healing properties of Zicao (a traditional wound healing herbal medicine). It has been noted that Arnebin-1, in conjunction with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), exerts a synergistic pro-angiogenic effect

To examine the effects of arnebin-1 on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an HFD for 10 weeks and then treated with arnebin-1 at a dose of 5, 10 or
