Methanol extract from cultured Scutellaria baicalensis cells inhibited the proliferation of human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 and human osteogenic sarcoma cell line HOS. The inhibitory effects of baicalin, baicalein and wogonin, the three major flavonoids contained in the extract, were studied. It should be noted that wogonin did not show the inhibitory effect on human fetal lung normal diploid cell line TIG-1, as compared to the inhibition observed in cancer cells. Physiological analyses in THP-1 cells showed that wogonin induced cell cycle arrest at G(2)/M phase and apoptosis. This is the first report discovering a cancer-specific apoptosis-inducing activity of wogonin.
