Biochem/physiol Actions Scutellarin is a flavonoid that exhibits a number of cardio- and neuro-protective effects. Scutellarin inhibits p38 activity, ERK phosphorylation, and TGF-β expression and fibrosis in a rat myocardial infarct model. In a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model, the compound reduced infarct volume and neurological deficits by increasing eNOS expression while inhibiting the induction of iNOS.

Scutellarin is an active flavonoid component from the medical plant Erigeron breviscapus (Vant) Hand-Mazz. Scutellarin is used as a micrpcirculation promoter for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Studies suggest that Scutellarin has anti-c
