scutellaria diffusa/phosphatase

Three flavonoids: norwogonin, dihydronorwogonin and baicalein, were isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, as potential inhibitors of VHR dual-specificity protein tyrosine phosphatase (DS-PTPase). Norwogonin (IC 50 = 1.1 microM), dihydronorwogonin (IC 50 = 2.9 microM) and baicalein (IC

Wogonin, one component in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi extracts, has several beneficial properties for cancers and inflammatory diseases. However, the efficacy of wogonin in cholesterol metabolism of macrophages remains unknown. In macrophages, cholesterol uptake is controlled by scavenger

Flavonoids have been shown to improve cognitive function and delay the dementia progression. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In the present study, we examined the effect of Scutellaria baicalensis stem-leaf total flavonoids (SSTFs) extracted from S. baicalensis Georgi on spatial

Baicalein is an active flavonoid extracted from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis that has anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties; its effects on osteoblastic and angiogenic potential are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of baicalein on odontoblastic

A standardized, combined flavonoid extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu, UP446, demonstrates favorable anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, DNA microarray, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to study the

Baicalein is a flavonoid (5,6,7-trihydroxy-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran4-one) and an active principle in Scutellaria baicalensis. The present study was performed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the anti-fibrotic effects of baicalein with a focus on Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibition. The effect of

Baicalin, a flavonoid isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, is known to have multiple biological functions. Recent studies have demonstrated that baicalin treatment increases alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and osteoprotegerin secretion by osteoblasts. Furthermore, baicalin induces the

In this study, we investigated the effect of the two flavonoids, baicalin (baicalein 7-O-[Formula: see text]- d-glucuronic acid) and its aglycone, baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone), after encapsulation into amorphous calcium polyphosphate (Ca-polyP) microparticles on mineralization of primary

Panax ginseng acts on a wide range of mechanisms, such as neuroprotective effect, a skin protective effect and enhanced DNA repair, anti-diabetic activity and against vascular inflammatory. However, the effect of the mixture of extract containing Panax ginseng and its molecular

BACKGROUND Flavocoxid is a prescription medical food that is used to treat osteoarthritis. It is a proprietary blend of 2 flavonoids, baicalin and catechins, which are derived from the botanicals Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu, respectively. OBJECTIVE To describe characteristics of

Insulin resistance (IR) is the primary pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, often used in the clinical treatment of T2DM. Baicalein which is considered to have anti-IR effects is one of its active ingredients.

BACKGROUND Diosbulbin B (DB) is the main hepatotoxic compound distributed in Dioscorea bulbifera L., which is widely used for the treatment of cancer and thyroid disorders in Asia. Scutellarin (SC) is the main compound in medicinal herb Scutellaria barbata D. Don, which is usually combined with

Flavonoids, a group of natural compounds found in a variety of vegetables and herbal medicines, have been intensively reported on regarding their estrogen-like activities and particularly their ability to affect bone metabolism. Here, different subclasses of flavonoids were screened for their
