Standardized extraction procedures for herb are as important as their authentication to maintain their quality and ensure their safe use. We had prepared a standardized and purified Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi extract, PF2405, which was enriched with three major components, baicalein, oroxylin A and wogonin. In the present study, we investigated the potential anti-inflammatory effects of PF2405 in vitro and in two different experimental animal models of inflammatory bowel disease. Effect of PF2405 studied in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced HT-29 cells in vitro. In vivo experimental colitis models were induced by administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) or dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). PF2405 (50 μg/ml) decreased TNF-α-induced cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expressions through inhibition of phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in HT-29 cells. Combination of baicalein (20 μg/ml), oroxylin A (8 μg/ml), and wogonin (2 μg/ml) markedly inhibits TNF-α-induced COX-2 expression when compared with individual components. PF2405 (25 mg/kg b.w.) treatment significantly reduced histopathological severity; suppressed expression of COX-2, TNF-α, and interleukin-1β in TNBS-induced mice. Moreover, PF2405 (25 mg/kg b.w.) has both potent preventive and therapeutic activities in DSS-induced colitis. Collectively, PF2405 shows prominent anti-inflammatory effect that can be used as a new therapeutic approach for intestinal inflammatory disorders.
