Notes: Tanshinone IIA sulfonate is a derivative of tanshinone IIA (Item No. 14323) and has immunomodulatory activities.{52201,52202} It reduces secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and prevents CSE-induced decreases in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) levels in 16HBE human bronchial epithelial cells.{52201} Inhalation of tanshinone IIA sulfonate (5 mg/kg) reduces lung function decline, mucus production, bronchial collagen deposition, and airspace enlargement in a mouse model of CS-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Tanshinone IIA sulfonate (15 mg/kg) reduces myocardial necrosis and production of TNF-α and IL-6 in a mouse model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).{52202} It reduces the number of peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and prolongs allogeneic skin graft survival in a rat transplantation model.{52203}
