scutellaria formosana/抗癌藥

The four flavonoids baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside, and wogonin have been isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis (Lamiaceae) root extract as main bioactive components. We evaluated their antimutagenic activity as potential chemopreventive natural substances using the Ames test. Free radical

Baicalin, an active flavone isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been demonstrated to induce various beneficial biochemical effects such as anti‑inflammatory, anti‑viral, and antitumor effects. However, the antitumor mechanism of baicalin is not well understood. In the present study,

To search for possible anti-tumor-promoters, fourteen flavones obtained from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis were examined for their inhibitory effects on the Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation by a short-term in vitro assay. Among these flavones, 5,7,2'-trihydroxy- and

Ethnopharmacological relevance: 5-hydroxy-7,8,2',6'-tetramethoxy flavanone (TMF) is a dihydroflavonoid extracted from Scutellaria javanica Jungh. It is a species of genus Scutellaria, and a representative southern herb and Li nationality

BACKGROUND Five herbs, Curcuma longa L. (CL), Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBC), Scutellaria barbata D. Don (SBB), Hedyotis diffusa Willd. (HD) and Solanum nigrum L. (SN), are often prescribed in the polyherbal formulas for cancer treatment by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. The

OBJECTIVE Scutellaria baicalensis is a widely used Chinese herbal medicine that historically is used in anti-inflammatory and anticancer therapy. The aim of the study is to determine its ability to inhibit human cancer cells in vitro and to determine whether its anticancer activity is because of the

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is one of the major causes of death among females in worldwide. Cisplatin is a primary anti-cancer drug against ovarian cancer, but the recurrent tumors after treatment frequently show acquired chemoresistance. Extract of Scutellaria baicalensis (SbE) has been reported to

Acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in children. Many cases of B-ALL harbor chromosomal translocations which are often critical determinants of prognosis. Most of them represent altered transcription factors that impact gene transcription or enhance

Baicalin and its aglycone baicalein derived from Scutellaria baicalensis exhibited potent anticancer effects in various types of cancer cell lines. However, the unfavorable pharmaceutical properties became the main obstacle for their potential clinical development. With the aim of development of

Cancer, a global havoc is a group of debilitating diseases that strikes family as well as society. Cancer cases are drastically increasing these days. In spite of many therapies and surgical procedures available cancer is still difficult to control. These are due to limited effective therapies or

Wogonin, a flavone in the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, reduced etoposide-induced apoptotic cell death in normal cells, such as bone marrow cells and thymocytes. On the other hand, wogonin potentiated the proapoptotic or cytotoxic action of etoposide in tumor cells, such as Jurkat, HL-60, A549,

Previous phytochemical studies showed that the major flavonoids in Scutellaria baicalensis are baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside and wogonin. The two glycosides (baicalin and wogonoside) can be transformed into their aglycons (baicalein and wogonin), which possess positive anticancer potential. In

Hemopoiesis was studied in 88 patients with lung cancer during antitumor chemotherapy and its combination with a dry SB extract. Administration of the plant preparation was accompanied with hemopoiesis stimulation, intensification of bone-marrow erythro- and granulocytopoiesis and increase in the

BACKGROUND 10-Hydroxy camptothecin (HCPT), a naturally occurring alkaloid, is a clinical drug for cancer chemotherapy. Baicalein (BA) is a flavonoid extracted from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis. The synergistic anti-cancer effect of BA and HCPT has not been reported. OBJECTIVE To explore

Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the discovery of a novel neo-clerodane diterpenoid, scutebarbalactone VN (BalA: 8,13-epoxy-3-en-7-hydroxy-6,11-O- dibenzoyl-15,16-clerodanolide), from the methanol extract of the whole-plant of Vietnamese Scutellaria barbata D. Don. A microarray technique
