Description
Potential uses
- Anti-cancer: Baicalein has been shown to inhibit the growth of various cancer cells and can be used in combination with other chemotherapy agents to enhance their effects.
- Neuroprotection: It can protect brain neurons from damage and may be beneficial for conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain injury by inhibiting protein aggregation and reducing oxidative stress.
- Anti-inflammatory: It is used to treat inflammatory diseases by reducing inflammation markers and pathways involved in conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Antiviral: Research suggests it may have antiviral properties, including potential effects against viruses like SARS-CoV-2 by blocking the ACE2 receptor.
- Cardiovascular health: It is used for treating cardiovascular diseases and hypertension by reducing inflammation and improving heart function.
- Liver protection: Baicalein shows protective effects against liver injuries, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and viral hepatitis.
- Antioxidant: It helps protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.
- Anti-inflammatory: It suppresses inflammatory pathways like NF-κB and iNOS, leading to a reduction in inflammatory responses.
- Anti-apoptotic: It helps prevent programmed cell death by regulating mitochondrial pathways.
- Inhibits protein aggregation: It can prevent the formation of harmful protein aggregates, such as those associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
