Baicalin is a flavonoid compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity extracted from Scutellarua rivularis. Limited distribution data suggest that baicalin reached several sites such as the brain, eye lens, thymus, etc. Metabolism data suggest the rapid conversion of baicalin to baicalein. Baicalin has the potential to be used in novel anti-cancer therapeutic formulations for treatment of ovarian cancer and other cancers. 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. The preventive medication of baicalin shows a protective effect on C57 BL mouse with Parkinson's disease induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

Route of Administration: Oral
The culture of human trabecular meshwork (hTM) cells was stressed by hydrogen peroxide. Samples that received pre- plus co-treatment with 10 or 15 uM baicalin showed significantly increased cell survival and decreased iROS production. Further studies demonstrated that pre- plus co-treatment with 15 uM baicalin significantly inhibited proinflammatory factor IL-1alpha and ELAM-1 production, decreased activities of senescence marker SA-beta-gal, and lowered carbonylated protein levels. In contrast, samples that received only pre-treatment did not show any of these protective effects.
