Wogonin is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, primarily derived from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis. Its chemical formula is C16H10O7, and it exhibits yellow crystalline properties. Wogonin is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities, making it a subject of interest in pharmacological research.

Wogonin is widely used in pharmaceuticals for its therapeutic potential in treating inflammation, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. It also finds applications in research for drug development and as a dietary supplement. Additionally, it is studied for its antimicrobial properties and role in functional foods.

Wogonin is generally considered safe when used in recommended doses, but its safety depends on proper handling. Precautions include avoiding inhalation of dust and wearing protective gloves. While it meets safety standards for research and pharmaceutical use, high concentrations may cause toxicity in some cases, necessitating adherence to safety guidelines.

Wogonin should be stored in a cool, dry place (ideally 2-8°C), away from light and moisture. It is best kept in airtight containers to prevent degradation. Avoid exposure to air and heat to maintain its stability and potency over time.
