Baicalin is a flavone, a type of flavonoid. It is found in several species in the genus Scutellaria, including Scutellaria lateriflora (blue skullcap). There are 10 mg/g baicalin in Scutellaria galericulata (common skullcap) leaves.[1] Baicalin is the glucuronide of baicalein.

It is a component of Chinese medicinal herb Huang-chin (Scutellaria baicalensis) and one of the chemical ingredients of Sho-Saiko-To, an herbal supplement.

Baicalin is a known prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor,[2] induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells,[3] and affects the GABA receptors.[citation needed]
