Purpose: To isolate essential oil from the aerial parts of Scutellaria baicalensis using GS-MS, and to assess its insect-killing effect against booklice (Liposcelis bostrychophila).Methods: The S. was hydro-distilled subjected gas chromatographic mass spectroscopic (GC-MS) techniques. components with insectkilling potentials were fractionated through bioactivity-guided isolation, isolated scree...

Cytostatic therapy of patients with lung cancer is attended with decrease in the relative number of T-lymphocytes and their theophylline-resistant population. Patients who were given SB showed a tendency towards increase of these parameters during antitumor chemotherapy. The immunoregulation index (IRI) in this case was approximately twice the background values during the whole period of invest...

Scutellaria baicalensis has a wide range of biological activities and has been considered as an important traditional drug in Asia and North America for centuries. A partial-length cDNA clone encoding phytoene synthase (SbPSY) and full-length cDNA clonesencoding phytoene desaturase (SbPDS), ξ-carotene desaturase (SbZDS), β-ring carotene hydroxylase (SbCHXB), and zeaxanthin epoxidase (SbZEP)were...

Scutellaria is one of the largest genera in Lamiaceae with an estimated 400–500 species a nearly worldwide distribution. Most occur N hemisphere, Caucasus and wider Irano-Turanian region housing large number taxa, many them considered endemic. We present overall phylogeny monophyletic genus based on rapidly evolving plastid regions (matK-trnK, rpl16, trnL-F). Three well-supported clades are evi...

Jelen tanulmány a Vértesalja homoki bükköseinek társulási viszonyait mutatja be 25 cönológiai felvétel alapján. Faji összetételére Fagetalia elemek magas aránya jellemző. Különösen értékes fajai Corydalis intermedia, Daphne laureola és Scutellaria columnae. A felvételek hagyományos sokváltozós statisztikai elemzések alapján elkülönülnek Belső-Somogy bükköseitől (Leucojo verno-Fagetum), Dunántúl...

Baicalein is a purified flavonoid extracted from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis or Scutellaria radix. Although previous studies have suggested that Baicalein possesses an in vitro anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity, its in vivo effects and mechanisms of action are still not completely understood. In this study, Baicalein at concentrations of 40-120 µM exhibited significant cytotoxicit...
