Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Baicalin is one of the main active compounds isolated from the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Baicalin possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. Baicalin is widely used as a traditional herbal medicine to treat various infectious and allergic diseases. Baicalin selectively binds to several chemokines, including stromal cell-derived factor 1α, IL-8, macrophage infammatory protein (MIP)-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-2, and lymphotactin. Baicalin also blocks the proliferative effect of platelet-derived growth factor on vascular smooth muscle cells.[1] Baicalin significantly inhibits cell viability in lung cancer cells (A549 and LLC cells) with IC50s of 20.79 and 30.53 µM, respectively, following 72 hours drug exposure. [2] Baicalin effectively decreases the permeability of blood-brain barrier, promotes transcription and expression of TJ proteins (claudin-5 and ZO-1), and reduces the levels of PKC.[3] Baicalin markedly inhibits replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in a concentration-dependent manner in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in vitro. Baicalin inhibits HIV-1 replication with an IC50 of 0.5 µg/mL.[4] Baicalin (200 mM) inhibits proliferation of SW620 cells and increases activities of caspase-3, -8, and -9 in SW620. [5] In vivo, baicalin suppresses tumor growth and prolongs survival in C57BL/6 mice bearing LLC tumor and nude mice bearing A549 carcinoma without systemic toxicity. [2] In vivo, baicalin (50 mg/kg/day, i.p.) treatment inhibits 55% of tumor growth in xenografted nude mice by 4 weeks.[5]

Protocols

In vitro, baicalin is dissolved in sterile DMSO.[5]
