Technical Abstract: Our current research emphasis is on medicinal, nutraceutical, and biofuel plants. We have been working on bioactive flavonoids from Scutellaria for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. There is very little scientific evidence on the anticancer activity of Scutellaria species, most of which have come from studies on the root extracts of a limited number of species, namely, Scutellaria baicalensis and S. barbata. Leaf and stem extracts of Scutellaria, although known to be substantially rich in flavonoid content and other active ingredients, have rarely been studied for their potential biomedical activities. Among the leaf, stem, and root extracts examined, the leaf extracts of two Himalayan species, S. angulosa and S. scandens, showed consistent, dose-dependent, antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities against various malignant cell lines. Here we report the development of micropropagation protocols for rapid mass multiplication and conservation of Scutellaria species. This study addresses concerns related to the need to be attentive to issues of sustainable and ethical harvests, as the majority of plants entering the trade are still being sourced from the wild.
