... "The principal phenolics in the leaves, stems, and roots of some Scutellaria species are baicalin, baicalein and wogonin. Baicalin is known to be anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Another study identifies 5,6,7-trihydroxy-2'- methoxyflavone and its 7-O-glucuronide. A number of the flavones found in S. lateriflora have been reported to selectively bind with high affinity to central benzodiazepine receptor sites, leading to the view that the flavones exert anxiolytic and other benzodiazepine effects in rats. Blue Skullcap also contains a glucuronide of chrysin".
