紫草素是从紫草根中提取的一种主要的植物化学成分。它是一种天然蒽醌衍生物。 应用 紫草素已被用于：增强吉非替尼对野生型肺癌细胞酪氨酸激酶受体表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的抗肿瘤活性；用作肾脏需氧糖病的抑制剂；作为抗炎剂，以测试其改善脂多糖(LPS)诱导的心功能障碍的作用；刺激骨髓源性巨噬细胞(BMDM)，检测干扰素调节因子1对细胞死亡的影响。 Shikonin is a major phytochemical compound extracted from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon. It is a natural anthraquinone derivative. Application： Shikonin has been used： to enhance the anti-tumor activity of gefitinib on tyrosine kinase receptor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in wild-type lung cancer cells； as an inhibitor of renal aerobic glycosis and a potential； as an anti-inflammatory agent to test its role to improve lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction； to stimulate bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to test the effect of Interferon regulatory factor 1 on cell death
