Abstrakt: Tanshinone, a natural compound found in the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been shown to possess various pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular protective effects. This article aims to review the literature on the cardiovascular protective effects of tanshinone and its underlying mechanisms. Tanshinone has been demonstrated to improve cardiac function, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit inflammation in various animal models of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, it has been shown to regulate multiple signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, such as the PI 3 K/AKT, MAPK, and NF-κB pathways. Clinical studies have also suggested that tanshinone may have therapeutic potential for treating cardiovascular diseases. In conclusion, tanshinone has emerged as a promising natural compound with significant cardiovascular protective effects, and further research is warranted to explore its potential clinical applications.
