Baicalin ( glucuronide of baicalein) is a flavone glycoside (flavonoid). Baicalin, along with its aglycone baicalein, is a positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site and/or a non-benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor. It also produces anxiolytic effects without sedative or myorelaxant effects.
Baicalin is then also a known prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor (induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells). It so impacts mood and reduces anxiety by stimulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that helps calm nerves.
