Uses

Baicalein is a flavonoid originally isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Several different functions of baicalein have been reported. Platelet 12-lipoxygenase is inhibited by baicalein with an ID50 value of 0.12 μM, with minimal inhibition of platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (IC50 = 0.83 mM). Baicalein inhibits lipid peroxidation, as assessed by production of TBARS, with an IC50 value of 5 μM. In addition to these effects, baicalein may play a role in apoptosis, as the compound inhibits cell growth of three human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 17-70 μg/ml.

Uses

antiviral (HIV)

Uses

An inhibitor of 12-lipoxygenase, leukotriene biosynthesis and release of lysosomal enzymes. It also inhibits cellular Ca2+ uptake and mobilization and adjuvant-induced arthritis. Baicalein is the fl avonoid component of Nepalese and Sino-Japanese crude drugs.

Uses

inhibitor of lipoxidase and leukotriene biosynthesis

Uses

An inhibitor of Ca2+ uptake, 5-LO, and 12-LO
