Description: Lithospermic acid is a polyphenol that has been found in S. miltiorrhiza and has diverse biological activities. It inhibits xanthine oxidase (IC50 = 5.2 µg/ml) and scavenges DPPH radicals in cell-free assays (IC50 = 23.2 µg/ml). It also inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in isolated human neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. Lithospermic acid inhibits 3'-processing and 3'-joining to target DNA by HIV-1 integrase in cell-free assays (IC50s = 0.83 and 0.48 µM, respectively). It also inhibits acute HIV-1 infection of H9 human lymphoma cells (IC50 = 2 µM) without inducing cytotoxicity. Lithospermic acid (100 mg/kg) prevents carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic necrosis in mice.

Product Data:
Biological target: Lithospermic acid ((+)-Lithospermic acid) is a plant-derived polycyclic phenolic carboxylic acid isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza, and has the anti-oxidative and hepatoprotective activity on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver damage in vitro and in vivo.
In vitro activity: To further explore the role of LA (lithospermic acid) in H9C2 cells, in vitro experiments were performed with the HR model (Supplementary Figure S3). In addition, LA attenuated HR-induced upregulation of GP91 and p67 phox and triggered the transcription of SOD2 in H9C2 cells (Supplementary Figure S4). Reference: Front Pharmacol. 2021 Nov 26;12:794982. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34899356/
In vivo activity: LA (lithospermic acid) reduced HBV DNA, HBsAg/HBeAg, and HBcAg levels in the serum/liver tissues of HBV-HDI C57BL/6 mice during the 3-week treatment and suppressed the withdrawal rebound of HBV DNA and HBsAg in the mice serum. LA inhibited the activation of AKT and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) induced by HBV, which was reversed by IGF-1 (an agonist of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway), indicating that LA elicited autophagy through hampering the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
