Abstract
Antioxidant properties of baikalin, a flavonoid from baikal scullcap (Scutellaria baikalensis Georgi), depend on its ability to scavenge free radicals. In contrast to standard antioxidant ionol (butylated hydroxytoluene) baikal scullcap extract and baikalin possess cerebroprotective activity and stabilize energy metabolism in rat brain during hypoxia. Pharmacological effect of the extract is determined by the presence of a falvonoid. It is suggested that antihypoxic effect of baikalin depends on its ability to interact with mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase.
