A review on the effect of tanshinone on sepsis

Abstract

Sepsis, defined as a systemic inflammatory response to infection, has been a prominent area of medical research due to the complexity and variability of its pathological mechanisms. In recent years, tanshinone has demonstrated considerable promise as a treatment for sepsis due to its distinctive pharmacological properties. This paper aims to examine the chemical structure of tanshinone, define sepsis and its intricate pathophysiological processes, and review the potential role of tanshinone in sepsis treatment and the latest research findings. This analysis will inform future research directions.
