Phytochemical Name : 15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I

Properties Information
PhytoCAT-ID PhytoCAT-406
Phytochemical name or plant extracts 15,16-Dihydrotanshinone I
PMID 21274285
Literature evidence Results suggest that DHTS can induce apoptosis of prostate carcinoma cells via induction of ER stress and/or inhibition of proteasome activity, and may have therapeutic potential for prostate cancer patients.
IUPAC name (1R)-1,6-dimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphtho[1,2-g][1]benzofuran-10,11-dione
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Diterpenoid
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Salvia miltiorrhiza
Geographical availability China North-Central, China South-Central, China Southeast, Vietnam
Plant parts Root
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein ERp57
Gene or Protein evidence DHT potentially inhibited ERp57 activity and suppressed ERp57 expression at both the RNA and protein levels.
Target pathways UPR pathway
IC50 NA
Potency In conclusion, our data implied that DHT targeted ERp57 for inhibition and induced ER stress and UPR activation, which in turn triggered breast cancer cell apoptosis.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231
Additional information  DHTS was able to induce ER stress as evidenced by the upregulation of glucose regulation protein 78 (GRP78/Bip) and CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein/growth arrest- and DNA damage-inducible gene 153 (CHOP/GADD153), as well as increases in phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) mRNA splicing forms.
