Abstract

A new flavone 6,2'-dihydroxy-5,7,8,6'-tetramethoxyflavone (1) together with one known flavone 5,7,2'-trihydroxy-6,8-dimethoxyflavone (2) were isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral evidence and their affinities for the benzodiazepine (BDZ) site of the GABAA receptor complex were evaluated with a radioligand receptor binding assay.
