Abstract
Baicalin, a flavonoid derived from the dicotyledonous plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG), is applied to treat various -disorders due to its various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, liver-protecting, lipid-lowering, and neuroprotection. However, baicalin's limited solubility hampers absorption. This article reviews baicalin's pharmacological properties, including pharmacokinetics, cytotoxicity, drug interactions, and therapeutic potential, especially for cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and liver-lipid disorders, aiming to promote its development in medicine, dairy and livestock feed, nutritional health products and cosmetics for humans and other fields.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
