In this study, researchers from the University of Macau investigated the bioactivity of baicalein (BA) isolated from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis or Chinese skullcap against ovarian cancer cells. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that BA can induce Beclin 1- and ERK-dependent autophagy in ovarian cancer cells, proving its potential as a natural anticancer medicine.
