Abstract

A pharmacognostic study of aerial parts of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Lamiaceae family) has been carried out. A merchandising analysis has been performed to determine the basic quality parameters of S. baicalensis. A chemical composition analysis has revealed the presence of organic acids, free carbohydrates, polysaccharides, amino acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, tannins, photosynthetic pigments, lipids, and triterpene compounds. Ethyl acetate and ethanol fractions, extracted from the aerial parts of S. baikalensis, have shown a significant antiradical activity.
