Baicalin is a flavone glycoside. It is the glucuronide of baicalein.
Natural occurrences[edit]
Baicalin is found in several species in the genus Scutellaria, including Scutellaria baicalensis and Scutellaria lateriflora. There are 10 mg/g baicalin in Scutellaria galericulata leaves.[1] It is one of the chemical ingredients of Sho-Saiko-To, an herbal supplement. It is also present in the bark isolate of the Oroxylum indicum tree.
Medical uses[edit]
Baicalin, along with its aglycone baicalein, is a positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site and/or a non-benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.[2][3][4] In mice, baicalin produces anxiolytic effects without sedative or myorelaxant effects.[5][6] It is thought that baicalin, along with other flavonoids, may underlie the anxiolytic effects of S. baicalensis and S. lateriflora.[7][8]
Baicalin is a known prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor.[9] It induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells.[10]
