Flavonoids in <i>Scutellaria immaculata</i> and <i>S. ramosissima</i> (Lamiaceae) and their biological activity

This is the first study reporting an in-vitro biological investigation for Si and Sr. Especially the chloroform extract of Sr showed potent anticancer and antimicrobial activity. Cynaroside had a highly selective and strong cytotoxicity against T. b. brucei while showing only mild effects against cancer cells.
