(2R,3S)-PD-1/PD-L1-IN-38 (Compound (±)-13e) is an orally active Ah receptor (AhR) antagonist with in vivo and in vitro anticancer activity. (2R,3S)-PD-1/PD-L1-IN-38 promotes the secretion of INF-γ by CD8⁺T cells and inhibits the signal transduction of PD-1/PD-L1.

PD-1/ PD-L1-in-38 is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, which can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, promote the secretion of INF-γ by CD8⁺ T cells, and inhibit the ability of PD-1/PD-L1 signal transduction. PD-1/PD-L1-IN-38 has antitumor activity.

3α-Hydroxytanshinone IIA (Compound 5) is a compound that can be isolated from the roots of Saluia miltiorrhiza.

α-Spinasterone is a compound that can be isolated from Samanea saman.

Neosalvianen is a N-containing compound that shows cytotoxic activities against the HeLa, HepG2, and OVCAR-3 cell lines, with IC₅₀ of 63.9 µM, 59.2 µM, and 74.6 µM, respectively.

Methyl tanshinonate is a tanshinone, that can be isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza (S. miltiorrhiza) Bunge (Lamiaceae). Methyl tanshinonate is a potent inhibitor of M^pro enzyme in SARS-CoV (IC₅₀ = 21.1 µM). Methyl tanshinonate can be used for diabetes and SARS-CoV research.

Trijuganone C is a tanshinone-type diterpenoid compound. Trijuganone C can be isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. Trijuganone C induces chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, activation of Caspase-3, -8 and -9, as well as cleavage of PARP. Trijuganone C activates Bid and Bax, leading to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and inducing the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol. Trijuganone C exerts antiproliferative effects through Apoptosis induction mediated by Mitochondrial dysfunction and Caspase activation. Trijuganone C exhibits significant antiproliferative activity against leukemia cells and colon cancer cells.

Monomethyl lithospermate activates the PI3K/AKT pathway, which plays a protective role in nerve injury. Monomethyl lithospermate can improve the survival ability of SHSY-5Y cells, inhibit the breakdown of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMOP) and inhibit cell apoptosis. Monomethyl lithospermate also reduced the level of oxidative stress in the brain tissue of rats with middle artery occlusion (MCAO) and improved nerve damage in rats with ischemic stroke (IS).

Tanshinoic acid A, a oxidic tanshinone diterpenoid, is a 11,12-seco-tanshinone derivative.

(R)-IDHP is an isomer of IDHP, a salvia metabolite that exerts vasorelaxant effects by inhibiting Ca²⁺ release and Ca²⁺ inward flow in voltage-dependent and receptor-operated calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. IDHP is used in studies of cardiovascular disease.

Tanshinol borneol ester, an angiogenesis stimulator, promoted multiple key steps of angiogenesis through Akt and MAPK signalling pathways. Tanshinol borneol ester has anti-ischemic and anti-atherosclerosis activities.

15,16-Dihydrotanshindiol C, a diterpenoid, is a potent thrombin inhibitor.

1,2,6,7,8,9-Hexahydro-1,6,6-trimethyl-3,11-dioxanaphth[2,1-e]azulene-10,12-dione is a kind of chemical constituents of Salvia miltiorrhiza f. alba. The dihydroisotanshinone with a para-quinone moiety shows cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity.

1,6,11-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydrofuro[2',3':1,2]phenanthro[4,3-d]oxazole (compound 1) is a potent anti-HIV-1 agent.

2-Isopropyl-8,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydrophenanthrene-3,4,5(6H)-trione is a C₂₀ -norabietane diterpenoid with anti-inflammatory activity. 2-Isopropyl-8,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydrophenanthrene-3,4,5(6H)-trione can be isolated from sage leaves.

Epi-cryptoacetalide is a natural diterpenoid. Epi-cryptoacetalide reveals high affinity to ER-α and PGE2 receptor (EP2 subtype) with K_i values of 0.3 μM and 1.92 μM, respectively. Epi-cryptoacetalide has anti-endometriosis activities.

Deoxyneocryptotanshinone, a natural tanshinone, is a high affinity BACE1 (Beta-secretase) inhibitor with an IC₅₀ value of 11.53 μM. Deoxyneocryptotanshinone shows a promising dose-dependent inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) with an IC₅₀ value of 133.5 μM. Deoxyneocryptotanshinone can be used for Alzheimer's disease research.

Tanshindiol B, a naphthaquinone diterpene, inhibits glioblastoma (GBM) growth by induction of noptosis (NQO1-dependent necrosis).
