Abstract
TanshinoneⅡA (TanⅡA) is a noteworthy lipophilic diterpene compound derived from the dried roots of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Danshen () that has various pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidative effects. Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction induced by a dysregulated host response to infection. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to sepsis-induced dysfunction of the intestine, car-diovascular system, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Experimental studies have shown that TanⅡA has therapeutic potential for sepsis-induced organ dysfunction owing to its anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and regulatory effects on multiple signalling pathways. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the potential multiorgan protective effects of TanⅡA in sepsis.
