Description of Baicalin

Baicalin is a flavonoid glycoside and an allosteric carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) activator[1]. Baicalin can inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)[2]. Baicalin can reduce NF-κB expression and mediate the regulation of key cancer signaling pathways[3].

In vitro, Baicalin (0.005-0.5nM) treatment of RAW264.7 cells inhibited LPS-induced cell proliferation and reduced the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) proteins[4]. Baicalin (100μM) pretreatment of HK-2 cells for 1h can improve cell viability after H2O2 stimulation, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit caspase-3 activation and cell apoptosis[5].

In vivo, Baicalin (10, 100 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), which reduced oxidative stress and histological damage, improved renal function, inhibited proinflammatory response and tubular apoptosis, and reduced the expression of TLR2, TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB and p-IκB proteins and caspase-3 activity, and increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio[6]. Baicalin (400 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice, which effectively improved diabetic conditions, proteinuria, renal histopathological changes and cell apoptosis, and inhibited the activation of the classic proinflammatory signaling pathway MAPK family, such as Erk1/2, JNK and P38MAPK signaling pathways [7].

Protocol of Baicalin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

RAW264.7 cells

Preparation Method

Cells were treated with 0.005-0.5nM of Baicalin and LPS (1 μg/ml). MTT solution of 10μl(5mg/ml) was added to each well for 4 h. At the end of incubation, DMSO of 100μl was added for 10 min after the removal of medium.

Reaction Conditions

0.005-0.5nM; 4h

Applications

Exposure to 1μg/ml LPS significantly increased the cell proliferation, Baicalin had an inhibition on LPS-induced RAW264.7 cell proliferation.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male Wistar rats

Preparation Method

Rats were randomly divided into five groups of six rats each, renal IRI was induced by clamping the left renal artery for 45 min plus a right nephrectomy. Saline-treated animals received intraperitoneal injections of 1mL 0.9% sterile NaCl 30 min before renal clamping. Baicalin-treated rats received intraperitoneal injections of Baicalin, diluted in sterile saline to 1, 10, or 100 mg/kg body weight 30 min before renal clamping.

Dosage form

1, 10, or 100 mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Baicalin treatment decreased oxidative stress and histological injury, and improved kidney function, as well as inhibiting proinflammatory responses and tubular apoptosis.
