Baicalin is one of the major bioactive constituents of Scutellariae Radix, but the biotransformation of it is poorly understood. In this paper, the metabolism of baicalin in rat was studied. Nine metabolites including one new compound were isolated and identified structurally. The plausible scheme for the biotransformation pathways of baicalin in the rats was deduced. And the main metabolites were evaluated for their antioxidation and anti-inflammation biological activities for the first time.
黄芩苷是黄芩的主要生物活性成分之一,但对其生物转化知之甚少。本文研究了黄芩苷在大鼠体内的代谢情况。分离并鉴定了 9 种代谢产物,包括 1 种新化合物。推断了黄芩苷在大鼠体内的生物转化途径。并首次评价了主要代谢产物的抗氧化和抗炎生物活性。
