Deoxyshikonin is a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. Deoxyshikonin is a natural product found in Arnebia hispidissima, Alkanna cappadocica, and other organisms with data available. See also: Arnebia guttata root (part of); Arnebia euchroma root (part of); Lithospermum erythrorhizon root (part of). Deoxyshikonin is isolated from Arnebia euchroma with antitumor activity. Deoxyshikonin increases the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-A mRNA in HMVEC-dLy, promotes HIF-1α and HIF-1β subunit interaction and binds to specific DNA sequences targeted by HIF, indicates a prolymphangiogenesis as well as a proangiogenesis effect in vitro[1]. Deoxyshikonin shows significant synergic antimicrobial activity against S. pneumonia (MIC=17 μg/mL), also shows significantly inhibitory activities against MRSA[2]. Deoxyshikonin increases the expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-A mRNA in HMVEC-dLy, promotes HIF-1α and HIF-1β subunit interaction and binds to specific DNA sequences targeted by HIF. Deoxyshikonin inhibited colorectal cancer (CRC) through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Deoxyshikonin has proangiogenesis effect and antitumor activity. Deoxyshikonin is an antibacterial agent against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and S. pneumonia (MIC=17 μg/mL)[1][2][3].
