Wogonin is an O-methylated flavone, a flavonoid-like chemical compound which was found in Scutellaria baicalensis[2] The glycosides of wogonin are known as wogonosides. For example, oroxindin is a wogonin glucuronide isolated from Oroxylum indicum.[3] It is one of the active ingredients of Sho-Saiko-To, a Japanese herbal supplement believed to enhance liver health.

Wogonin has been found in one study to have anxiolytic properties in mice at doses of 7.5 to 30 mg/kg, without exhibiting the sedative and muscle-relaxing properties of benzodiazepines.
