Oroxylin A is an O-methylated flavone, a chemical compound that can be found in the medicinal plants Scutellaria baicalensis [1] and Scutellaria lateriflora , [2] [3] and the Oroxylum indicum tree. [4] It has demonstrated activity as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, [5] and is also a negative allosteric modulator of the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor. [5] [6] [7] Oroxylin A has been found to improve memory consolidation in mice by elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the hippocampus. [8]
