scutellaria laeteviolacea/necrosis

Wogonin from Scutellaria baicalensis, was demonstrated to increase nitric oxide (NO) in the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. It is our aim to investigate the modulatory effect of wogonin on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene expression. By using RAW 264.7 as an in vitro model, the

BACKGROUND Baicalin is a flavone isolated from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis and is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Psoriasis is a persistent and recurrent chronic inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by inflammation and increased proliferation of keratinocytes. This study

Cardiomyocyte necrosis has been reported to be a major component in pathogenesis of cardiac diseases. We noticed that baicalein, a kind of principal components in the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, exerts cardioprotective effects by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis of

We examined the effects of nine flavonoids isolated from Scutellariae radix on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta)- and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced adhesion molecule expression in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among them, we found that baicalein

Tremendous effort has been made to improve the anticancer value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). In this study, we show that wogonin, a flavonoid isolated from Huang-Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis), synergistically sensitizes cancer cells derived from the cervix, ovary and lung to TNF-induced

Baicalin (BAI), one major flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, possesses anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effect of BAI on diabetes mellitus has not been investigated. This study explored the antidiabetic effect of BAI on pancreatic β-cell line Min6. Min6 cells were

Combination of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) with other agents is a promising strategy to overcome TRAIL resistance in malignant cells. Wogonin, a flavonoid originated from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been shown to enhance TRAIL-induced apoptosis in

Extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis display a wide spectrum of antiviral activity. It was of great interest to check the effect of baicalein and wogonin preparations on two important mechanisms of innate immunity: the secretion of cytokines and the natural resistance of human leukocytes to viral

The aim of the present study was to explore whether acupuncture may improve the absorption of baicalin from the extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in rats with pelvic inflammation. 24 female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into groups A (a combination of oral administration of

Scutellaria baicalensis (SB) has antibacterial and antiviral activities. Nitric oxide (NO) as a potent macrophage-derived effector molecule against a variety of bacteria, viruses and tumors has received increasing attention. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of SB on the

Scutellariae radix, the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, has long been applied in traditional formulations and modern herbal medications. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) in follicles can trigger inflammation and lead to the symptom of inflammatory acnes vulgaris. This study was aimed at

Here, the anticoagulant activities of oroxylin A (OroA), a major component of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, were examined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and the activities of cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa). Furthermore, the

OBJECTIVE Baicalin, a flavonoid compound purified from the dry roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has generally been used for the treatment of various allergic diseases. However, there is little information about the anti-inflammatory effects of baicalin for allergic rhinitis. This study aims

Standardized extraction procedures for herb are as important as their authentication to maintain their quality and ensure their safe use. We had prepared a standardized and purified Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi extract, PF2405, which was enriched with three major components, baicalein, oroxylin A

Inflammatory responses are key contributors to cancer cachexia and foster a complex cascade of biological outcomes. Baicalin is a natural compound derived from Scutellaria baicalensis that possesses anti-inflammatory properties in many diseases; therefore, the aim of this study was to verify whether
