What is Wogonin?

The Uses of Wogonin

Wogonin acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, attenuating ovalbumin antigen-influenced neutrophillic airway inflammation. In addition, it reverses multi-drug resistance of human myelogenous leukemia.

What are the applications of Application

Wogonin, S. baicalensis is a flavonoid that displays anti-inflammatory properties

What are the applications of Application

Wogonin is an anti-inflammatory agent and inhibitor of COX-2

Definition

ChEBI: A dihydroxy- and monomethoxy-flavone in which the hydroxy groups are positioned at C-5 and C-7 and the methoxy group is at C-8.

General Description

Wogonin is a flavonoid component of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi roots.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Wogonin is an anti-inflammatory agent and COX-2 inhibitor, which inhibits the induction of both iNOS and COX-2. Wogonin inhibits COX-2 (IC50 = 46 μM) without affecting COX-1. Wogonin inhibits iNOS induction and thus inhibts activation-induced C6 glial cell death. Specifically, Wogonin inhibits NF-kappaB-mediated iNOS induction.

Storage

Dry, dark and at 0 - 4 ℃ for short term (days to weeks) or -20 ℃ for long term (months to years).
