smurph,
Very cool find. I was not aware of this CCR5 antagonist.
Lithospermum Erythrorhizon derived shikonin , in addition to down-regulating CCR5 cell surface expression, also down-regulates CCL5/RANTES (or at least the mouse model equivalent, mRANTES).

mRANTES levels in the peritoneal fluid of the animal endometriosis model ... decreased significantly following shikonin treatment in a dose‐dependent manner (P<0.05)

shikonin significantly inhibited the early expression (within 0.5 h) of approximately 50 genes, notably cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-4, chemokines CCL4 and CCL8 and inflammatory modulators NFATC3 and PTGS2
