[Enhancement of the selectivity of the action of the cytostatics cyclophosphane and 5-fluorouracil by using an extract of the Baikal skullcap in an experiment].

In experiments with murine and rat transplantable tumors, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgii extract treatment was shown to ameliorate cyclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil-induced myelotoxicity and to decrease tumor cell viability. This was partly attributed to a pronounced antistressor action of the extract and its normalizing effect on some homeostatic parameters.
