Abstract

In general, scutellarein might exert therapeutic effects on pulmonary fibrosis by altering the differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis of fibroblasts. Although scutellarein has been demonstrated to be safe in mice, further studies are required to investigate the efficacy of scutellarein in patients with IPF.
