Skullcapflavone II

SKU: orb1219416

Description

Skullcapflavone II is a flavonoid derived from Scutellaria baicalensis, a widely used herbal medicine in anti-inflammatory and anticancer therapy. Skullcapflavone II may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of allergic asthma.Skullcapflavone II regulates osteoclast differentiation, survival, and function. Skullcapflavone II exerts potent antimicrobial activity against M. aurum and M. bovis BCG.

Key Properties

• CAS Number: 55084-08-7

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  Skullcapflavone II, a potential bradykinin antagonist, reduces the major pathophysiological features of allergic asthma, at least in part by acting on TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathways.
• In Vitro:
  Skullcapflavone II inhibits osteoclastogenesis with decreased activation of MAPKs, Src, and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), which have been known to be redox sensitive. Skullcapflavone II decreases reactive oxygen species by scavenging them or activating nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and its effects were partially reversed by hydrogen peroxide cotreatment or Nrf2 deficiency.
