Miltirone (Standard)

Miltirone is an orally active natural compound found in the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Miltirone is a central benzodiazepine receptor partial agonist, with an IC50 of 0.3 μM. Miltirone induces ROS - and-p53 dependent apoptosis. Miltirone inhibits carboxylesterase 2 (CES2; Ki = 0.04 μM) and SARS-CoV main protease (Mpro) [1][2][3][4].
