scutellarein/scutellaria

Fibrosarcoma is an aggressive and highly metastatic cancer of the connective tissue, for which effective therapeutic methods are limited. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in small molecular compounds from natural products in the treatment of cancer. In the present study, we investigated

Scutellarein (SCU), a flavone found in the perennial herb Scutellaria baicalensis, is known for a wide range of biological activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of treatment with SCU flavonoids on inducing apoptosis via the extrinsic pathway in Hep3B cells. SCU

Baicalein and scutellarein are bioactive flavones found in the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, used in traditional Chinese medicine. Extensive previous work has demonstrated the broad biological activity of these flavonoids, such as antifibrotic, antiviral and anticancer properties.

To search novel therapy for human colon cancer, scutellarein identified from Scutellaria barbata was investigated using HCT116 cells. As a result, scutellarein can induce apoptosis of HCT116 cells. Further investigation for the mechanism has revealed scutellarein can increase the production of

Scutellaria barbata (SB) is a medicinal plant that contains flavonone compounds such as scutellarein, scutellarin, carthamidin, isocarthamidin, and wogonin. A functional proteomic approach was used to study the inhibitory effects of a chemically standardized extract from SB in human colon

A radioreceptor binding assay was used to guide the isolation of four chemical constituents in the organic solvent extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi capable of binding to the benzodiazepine site (BZD-S) of the GABAA receptor: wogonin (Ki = 2.03 +/- 0.24 microM), baicalin (Ki = 77.10 +/-

The individual flavonoid component, scutellarin, scutellarein, luteolin and apigenin, in Scutellaria barbata plant was isolated based on the macro porous adsorbent with high adsorption selectivity. These adsorbents were synthesized based on the copolymerization of methyl acrylate and divinylbenzene

BACKGROUND Glycosylation of flavonoids is a promising approach to improve the pharmacokinetic properties and biological activities of flavonoids. Recently, many efforts such as enzymatic biocatalysis and the engineered Escherichia coli biotransformation have increased the production of flavonoid

Background: The Scutellaria barbata-Hedyotis diffusa herb pair has appeared in classical prescriptions and has usually been used for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory conditions. Objective: For quality control of this herb pair, a rapid and reliable HPLC-quadrupole-time-of-flight(Q-TOF)-MS

Scutellarin is the major active constituent of Scutellaria barbata D. The metabolism of scutellarin has been investigated in rats. The solid-phase extraction and HPLC-DAD methods were established to separate and analyse metabolites. Five metabolites (M1-M5) were identified by enzymatic hydrolysis,

A cDNA encoding UDP-glucose: baicalein 7-O-glucosyltransferase (UBGT) was isolated from a cDNA library from hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi probed with a partial-length cDNA clone of a UDP-glucose: flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT) from grape (Vitis vinifera L.). The

Baicalein, wogonin, and their glycosides are major bioactive compounds found in the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. These flavones can induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines but have no effect on normal cells. Furthermore, they have many additional benefits for human

Scutellaria lateriflora (American skullcap) has been used in traditional medicine to treat several medical conditions including nervous disorders and cancer. Previous studies have associated these medicinal properties to flavones present in roots and leaves of this species. In order to develop a

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are a type of ionic liquid (IL) or deep eutectic solvent (DES), the ingredients of which are exclusively natural products (non-toxic and environmentally friendly). Here, we explore the potential of NADES as an alternative to conventional organic solvents (e.g.,
