Danshensu sodium  (Synonyms: Dan shen suan A sodium; Salvianic acid A sodium)

Cat. No.: HY-N1913A Purity: 99.9%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Danshensu (Dan shen suan A) sodium, an orally active phenolic compound, can induce Nrf2/HO-1 activation and inhibition of NF-κB pathway. Danshensu sodium reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, upregulates antioxidant defense mechanism and inhibits intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Danshensu sodium displays a potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 with EC50 of 0.97 μM. Danshensu sodium has anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis, anti-lung inflammatory and has the potential for COVID-19, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases research.

    Description

    Danshensu (Dan shen suan A) sodium, an orally active phenolic compound, can induce Nrf2/HO-1 activation and inhibition of NF-κB pathway. Danshensu sodium reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, upregulates antioxidant defense mechanism and inhibits intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Danshensu sodium displays a potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 with EC50 of 0.97 μM. Danshensu sodium has anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis, anti-lung inflammatory and has the potential for COVID-19, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases research[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    Danshensu (Dan shen suan A) sodium potently inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 S protein-pseudo-typed virus (SARS-CoV-2 S) into ACE2-overexpressed HEK-293T cells (IC50=0.31 μM) and Vero-E6 cell (IC50=4.97 μM)[1].
    Danshensu (0-100 μM; for 24 h) sodium at higher concentrations (50 and 100 μM) causes significant reduction in migration and invasion of both FaDu and Ca9-22 cells[2].
    Danshensu (0-100 μM; for 24 h) sodium dose-dependently reduced the phosphorylation of ERK and p38 phosphorylation in FaDu cell[2].
    Danshensu (0-100 μM; for 24, 48, 72 h) sodium does not have any cytotoxic effect on human oral cancer cells[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
