The effects of baicalein, a flavonoid, and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) on lipid peroxidation in rat forebrain homogenates, on free radical scavenging action against diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema in mice were studied. Baicalein
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes skin damage including increases in skin thickness, edema, and flush. In this study, we examined the effects of two main flavonoids (wogonin and baicalein) isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional remedy for allergic inflammatory
The effects of topical application of baicalein on 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced promotion of skin tumors, hyperplasia, ornithine decarboxylase activity, and inflammation were evaluated in female CD-1 mice. Topical application of baicalein (0.08, 0.16, or 0.2 mumol) with TPA (5
Anti-inflammatory activity of baicalein (5,6,7-trioxyflavone-7-O-beta-D-glucuronide) was greater in the chronic inflammation model (rat adjuvant arthritis, ED50 = 120.6 mg/kg) than observed in the rat carrageenan-induced paw edema, ED50 > or = 200.0 mg/kg. A comparative study of the 5-lipoxygenase
Ammonia is treated as a primary waste product of cellular metabolism in vivo and can contribute to the alteration of neurotransmission, oxidative stress, and cerebral edema and astrocyte swelling when its concentration in the brain is high. The objective of this study was to determine whether
Topical application of TPA to a murine ear induced an edema that was accompanied by eicosanoid biosynthesis and an early enhancement of prostaglandin H synthase 2 (PGHS-2) expression. PGHS-2 induction may be correlated with the time-course of TPA-induced edema formation. Treatment with drugs that
Previous studies have demonstrated that baicalein has protective effects against several diseases, which including ischemic stroke. The effect of baicalein on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and its related mechanisms are not well understood. We aimed to investigate
Baicalein, a widely used Chinese herbal medicine, has been proved as a promising chemopreventive compound for many cancers. The aim of this work was to assess the anti-tumor effect of baicalein in the orthotopic glioma models. It was found that treatment of mice with U87 gliomas with baicalein (20
Chemotherapy is one of the major strategies for cancer treatment. Several antineoplastic drugs including vinorelbine (VRB) are commonly intravenously infused and liable to cause serious phlebitis. The therapeutic drugs for preventing this complication are limited. In this study, the mechanism of
Baicalein has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. However, the mechanisms underlying its anti-inflammatory effect on colitis remain unclear.A dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced model of acute colitis was established in BALB/c UNASSIGNED
Random skin flaps are routinely placed during plastic and reconstructive surgery, but the distal areas often develop ischemia and necrosis. Baicalein, a major flavonoid extracted from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine huangqin, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, may improve flap
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of baicalein (Bai) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and its mechanism in mice.
METHODS
Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups by random number table: namely sham group, I/R group and Bai+I/R group,
The hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a febrile and exanthematous childhood disease mainly caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71). In severe HFMD, virulent EV-A71 strains can cause acute flaccid paralysis and cardiopulmonary edema leading to death. Currently, no FDA approved antiviral Five extracts (n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water) of Scutellaria rivularis Benth. were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats and compared with indomethacin. The result indicated that chloroform extract proved to be the
BACKGROUND
Baicalein (BE), a phenolic flavonoid extracted mainly from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, a Chinese herb, is traditionally used in oriental medicine. Several studies have demonstrated that BE exerts many beneficial effects including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
