Application

Baicalein was used in a study to investigate the in vitro quantitative inhibition of lipoxygenase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The flavonoid component of Nepalese and Sino-Japanese crude drugs. Baicalein, a major flavone of Scutellariae baicalensis, inhibits the 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism, which inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.

General description

Baicalein, a flavonoid, is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. Anti-inflammatory effects of baicalein in peripheral human leukocytes has been studied.

Paeoninol and paeonin C, oligostilbene and monoterpene galactoside, have been isolated from the methanolic extract of the fruits of Paeonia emodi. Their structures have been assigned on the basis of spectral analysis including 1D and 2D NMR techniques. In addition

Previous studies suggest baicalein, in addition to its antioxidant effects, protects against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury via its pro-oxidant properties. We hypothesize that a brief period of baicalein treatment prior to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) may trigger preconditioning protection via a mitochondrial pro-oxidant mechanism.

Baicalein, one of the major flavonoids found in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, displays neuroprotective effects on experimental models of Parkinson's disease (PD) in vitro and in vivo. Although the antioxidative and/or anti-inflammatory activity of baicalein likely contributes to these neuroprotective effects
