ISalvianolic acid A (Sal A) and salvianolic acid B (Sal B) were isolated and purified from the crude extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Antioxidant activities of Sal A and Sal B were also evaluated the ABTS results showed that Sal A and Sal B exhibited high total antioxidant activities, their EC50 values were 1.35 0.00 and 1.43 0.01 .mu.g/mL.

ChEBI: Salvianolic acid A is a stilbenoid.

Salvianolic acid A is cell protective antioxidant originally isolated from Salvia. It has been found to attenuate PDGF-induced ROS formation in hepatic stellate cells and protected against isoproterenol-induced myocardial damage in rats.
