The effect of shikonin
Second, the role of shikonin
1. Anti-inflammatory effect
Studies have found that shikonin can strongly inhibit the biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, and exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
2. Antiviral effect
The researchers used hemagglutination reaction and cytopathic method to study the anti-parainfluenza virus effect of L-shikonin. The results showed that it had low toxicity within the concentration range used in the experiment, and had certain in vitro anti-influenza virus activity and directly killed parainfluenza. the role of the virus.
3. Antibacterial activity
Candida albicans is the most common opportunistic pathogenic fungi in clinical practice, and generally exists in the skin, mucous membranes and other parts of the human body. When the immune function of the body is reduced or the microecological environment of its host site is imbalanced, Candida albicans will multiply and cause skin, mucous membrane or visceral infections. At present, azoles and polyene antibiotics are the main drugs used in clinical treatment of Candida albicans. However, these drugs have certain toxicity, and the drug resistance of Candida albicans is continuously enhanced after long-term use. Scientists have found that shikonin has a strong inhibitory effect on Candida albicans.
4. Anti-tumor effect
Shikonin can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and regulate the immune function of the body. Some scholars have found that shikonin has the effect of inhibiting the proliferation of colon cancer, and it is expected to be used as one of the adjuvant drugs for chemotherapy.
