Baikal skullcap
Scutellaria baicalensis
Scutellaria baicalensis, commonly known as Chinese skullcap, originates from traditional Chinese medicine and has a long history of use. Traditionally, it is not specifically documented for any particular uses; however, its active compounds are believed to have various therapeutic effects. Scientific evidence suggests that the flavonoid baicalein, found in Scutellaria baicalensis, may enhance radiosensitivity in certain breast cancer cells and reduce infarct area in acute ischemic stroke models by targeting ROS scavenging and neuroinflammation. Additionally, studies have identified specific genes involved in its biological activities, such as SbGATA6 expression being upregulated by carbon dot treatment. While no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded, the current body of research is still limited and further investigation is warranted to fully understand its potential benefits and mechanisms of action.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a identifié 25 gènes SbGATA chez Scutellaria baicalensis et a constaté que l'expression du gène SbGATA6 était augmentée par le traitement à la pointe de carbone, tandis que les autres gènes montraient une diminution.
- La baïcaleine augmente la sensibilité aux rayons X chez les cellules cancéreuses du sein radio-résistantes BT549 et MCF7-R en inhibant l'activité de Rac1.
- Cette étude a montré que une plateforme nanométrique combinant baicalein provenant de Scutellaria baicalensis et rapamycin réduit l'aire d'infarctus chez un accident vasculaire cérébral aigu en ciblant la scavengerie des ROS et l'inflammation neuroimmunitaire.
- L'étude a montré que l'analyse principale des composants basée sur les scores combinée à la spectroscopie bidimensionnelle de corrélation de deux traçages peut déterminer semi-quantitativement les concentrations de flavonoïdes dans les extraits de Scutellaria baicalensis.
- L'étude a identifié des différences métaboliques entre Scutellaria baicalensis d'origines géographiques différentes et spécifications utilisant l'apprentissage automatique.
