Abstract
Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) is a Chinese herbal used in China to treat irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, insomnia, swelling liver, and angina pectoris. It also has various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-atherogenesis, and anti-diabetes. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), e.g., Danshen, lacks quality control. Pesticide residues and heavy metals are the most important problems, although Danshen may cure many diseases, even SARS-CoV-2 in a COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the present short commentary discusses the background of Danshen, quality management, and its application to COVID-19.
期刊介绍：
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience, bioscience and applied chemistry. Submissions are solicited in all topical areas, ranging from basic aspects of the science materials to practical applications of such materials. With 6 issues per year, the first one published on the 15th of February of 2011, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an open-access journal, making all research results freely available online. The aim is to publish original papers, short communications as well as review papers highlighting interdisciplinary research, the potential applications of the molecules and materials in the bio-field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
