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.
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.[2] Preliminary in vitro studies have shown pharmacological effects that indicate wogonin may have anti-tumor properties.[4][5] Wogonin has also been found to possess anticonvulsant effects.[6] It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.[2][6]
