Abstract

Baicalin is a flavonoid compound isolated from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis. It is known to affect multiple biological functions, including of antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Baicalin can inhibit nuclear factor-kappaB activation. It has been reported that some flavonoids possess the effects of bone metabolism. The present study was undertaken to determine the possible cellular mechanism of action of baicalin in osteoblasts. The effects on the osteoblast were determined by measuring cell proliferation, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, and osteoprotegerin secretion. Baicalin has no effect on the osteoblastic cell proliferation and cell viability. Baicalin treatment showed increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and osteoprotegerin secretion of osteoblasts. Thus, baicalin may be a regulatory protein within the bone.

Baicalin은 Scutellaria baicalensis에서 분리되는 flavonoid의 일종으로, 다양한 생물학적 활성을 나타내는 물질로 알려져 있다. Baicalin은 항균, 항염증, 진통작용을 나타내며, nuclear factor-kappaB의 활성을 억제한다고 보고되었다. 최근에 다양한 flavonoid 들이 골조직 대사에 관여함이 밝혀졌으며, 본 연구에서는 baicalin이 골조직의 주요세포인 조골세포의 생성 및 활성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여, 세포증식율, 세포생존율, 염기성 인산분해효소 활성 및 osteoprotegerin 생성량의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 baicalin은 조골세포의 세포 증식과 생존율에는 영향을 미치지 못하였으나, 염기성 인산분해효소의 활성과 osteoprotegerin의 생성량을 증가시켰다. 따라서 baicalin은 골조직에서 조절물질로 역할을 할 것으로 예견된다.
