Clinical Summary

Scutellaria baicalensis is an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of conditions including epilepsy, hepatitis, infections, and cancer. It often is used in combination with other botanicals (e.g. PC-SPES and Sho-saiko-to).
In vitro and limited animal data suggest that its components cause apoptosis in various cancer cells, demonstrate neuroprotective properties, and protect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. In addition, sedative and anticonvulsant effects have also been reported.

Signs of toxicity include stupor, confusion, and seizures.
