Astral Sage

Salvia miltiorrhiza

Salvia miltiorrhiza, commonly known as Danshen, is a traditional Chinese herb. Traditionally, it has been used in Chinese medicine for various conditions such as cardiovascular disorders and menstrual issues, though specific uses are not extensively recorded. Scientific evidence suggests that overexpression of SmGA2ox4 enhances the salt tolerance and tanshinone accumulation in S. miltiorrhiza, indicating potential benefits related to environmental stress resistance. Tanshinones from this plant have shown multi-target neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury through various mechanisms, though evidence is still being explored. Additionally, studies indicate that SAB can synergistically enhance the activity of azoles against drug-resistant C. glabrata both in vitro and in vivo, while PB-SM administration improved immune function in cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice, with individual and enhanced effects from PCA and TanIIA. Notably, no major safety issues or significant drug interactions have been recorded for S. miltiorrhiza to date.
