ABSTRACT

As a natural compound with high efficiency and low toxicity, cryptotanshinone (CTS) has a good anti-fibrosis effect in various organs and tissues. However, its mechanism of action has not been clearly defined, and there is no systematic literature review to describe its potential anti-fibrosis mechanism. The efficacy and mechanism of cryptotanshinone in the treatment of fibrosis in various organs were summarized and the use prospects were put forward in this paper.
