Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, is commonly used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders including atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms responsible for the vasoprotective effects of Danshen remain largely unknown. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) represents one of the most bioactive compounds that can be extracted from the water-soluble fraction of Danshen. We investigated the effects of Danshen and Sal B on the inflammatory response in… 
Salvianolic Acid Exerts Cardioprotection through Promoting Angiogenesis in Animal Models of Acute Myocardial Infarction: Preclinical Evidence
TLDR
It is demonstrated that salvianolic acid can exert cardioprotection through promoting angiogenesis in animal models of myocardial infarction.
Suppression of Inflammatory Responses by Dihydromyricetin, a Flavonoid from Ampelopsis grossedentata, via Inhibiting the Activation of NF-κB and MAPK Signaling Pathways.
TLDR
The present results suggest that dihydromyricetin exerts its topical anti-inflammatory action through suppressing the activation of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of p38 and JNK and may be a potentially useful therapeutic agent for inflammatory-related diseases.
Role of heme oxygenase-1 expression by dietary phytoconstituents: A nutritional cytoprotective strategy for human diseases
TLDR
Investigation of the role of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 in human diseases and strategies for its clinical use indicate that HO-1 may functions as a potential therapeutic target in various human diseases.
Magnesium lithospermate B protects the endothelium from inflammation-induced dysfunction through activation of Nrf2 pathway
TLDR
It is demonstrated that MLB inhibits NF-κB activation through PKC- and PI3K/Akt-mediated Nrf2 activation in HMEC-1 cells and protects against LPS-induced endothelial dysfunction in murine model of acute inflammation.

Salvianolic Acid B Inhibits Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Endothelial Cell Apoptosis through Regulating PI3K/Akt Signaling
TLDR
These findings provide the first evidence that H2O2 induces r CMECs apoptosis via the PI3K/MEK/ERK pathway and that Sal B protects rCMECs against H 2O2-induced apoptosis through the PI 3K/Akt/Raf/MEk/ ERK pathway.
Piceatannol-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside as an active component of rhubarb activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase through inhibition of arginase activity
TLDR
PG as an arginase inhibitor represents a novel molecule for the therapy of cardiovascular diseases derived from endothelial dysfunction and may be used for the design of pharmaceutical compounds.

Chemistry and biological activities of caffeic acid derivatives from Salvia miltiorrhiza.
TLDR
The structural diversity and the pronounced biological activities encountered in the caffeic acid derivatives of S. miltiorrhiza indicate that this class of compounds is worthy of further studies that may lead to new drug discovery.
Carbon monoxide has anti-inflammatory effects involving the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway
TLDR
It is demonstrated here that carbon monoxide, a by-product of heme catabolism by heme oxygenase, mediates potent anti-inflammatory effects and may have an important protective function in inflammatory disease states and thus has potential therapeutic uses.
