Abstract

Recently, salvia miltiorrhiza has made a great progress in research of central nervous system (CNS) injury and neurodegeneration. Salvia miltiorrhiza and its active ingredients can exert multiple effects involving reduction of cell loss, attenuation of oxidative stress, improvement of micro-circulation and promotion of neuroregeneration, and show a protective effect on CNS diseases. Regulation of oxidative stress and removing accumulated metabolite may be the important mechanisms by which salvia miltiorrhiza exerts neuroprotective effects. This study will systematically discuss the pharmacological effects and possible mechanisms of salvia miltiorrhiza based on the core pathological changes in CSN diseases, and evaluate its drug safety through combing the related toxicology researches to provide a reference for clinical transformation of Chinese medicine in threatment of CNS diseases. Key words: Salvia miltiorrhiza; Active ingredient; Neuroprotection; Toxicology
