Overview of Salvia miltiorrhiza as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Various Diseases: An Update on Efficacy and Mechanisms of Action

Abstract: Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (S. miltiorrhiza) is a medicinal herb that has been used for the treatment for various diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in East Asia including Korea. Considering its extensive usage as a therapeutic agent for multiple diseases, there is a need to review previous research regarding its therapeutic benefits and their mechanisms. Therefore, we searched PubMed and PubMed Central for articles reporting its therapeutic effects on certain disease groups including … Show more

“…About 1000 species belong to this genus and they are herbaceous, suffruticosus or shrubby perennial plants displaying a remarkable diversity in growth forms, in floral morphology and pollination biology, and in secondary metabolites production [ 20 ]. The chemical composition of Salvia species is particularly rich in sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, steroids, polyphenols and others [ 21 , 22 ], and bioactive molecules were reported to exert proapototic and anticancer activities, to act in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, to be therapeutic in liver diseases, to be active in the central nervous system as a potential cognitive protective, and to prevent or disaggregate beta amyloid and fibrils as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

“…In China, S. miltiorrhiza is a medicinal plant used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases ( Jung et al, 2020 ), in which the root actinobacteria have previously been reported ( Li et al, 2010 ; Yan et al, 2016 ), but until now, only the Streptomyces have been isolated. Besides, no study has assessed the function of the root-associated actinobacteria of this species.…”

“…They represent a variety of bioactive compounds that are capable of preventing and controlling diseases related to stress diseases. Thus, the review realized by Jung et al provides an overview of the therapeutic benefits and targets of Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts, including inflammation, fibrosis, oxidative stress, and apoptosis [1]. However, it must be taken into account that the content of polyphenols in plants varies remarkably between species, geographical area, part of the plant tested, etc.…”
