Study of bioavailability of capsules with Scutellaria baicalensis roots and rhizomes powder

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to study the bioavailability of the sum of biologically active flavanoids of capsulated Scutellaria baicalensis root powder. In order to objectively evaluate the results of the experiment, it is necessary to know the true content of flavanoids in terms of baikalin in the analyzed samples of root and rhizomes powder of Scutellaria baicalensis. For this purpose, we have determined the optimal solvent. Proceeding from the fact that the sum of flavanoids was well extracted with a 0.1 M solution of chloride acid, it can be assumed that the optimum extractant would be an aqueous solution of ethanol at a sufficiently low concentration.
