Enriched-baicalein (baicalein) from baicalin was prepared by fermentation of an SB extract with mycelium of Laetiporus sulphureus. To investigate the pharmacologic effects of baicalein, its antiallergic effect was measured in vitro and in vivo. Allergy was induced by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin (OVA) into Balb/c mice. As a result, baicalein showed antiallergic effects by inhibiting the release of β-hexosaminidase from immunoglobulin E- (IgE-) stimulated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) mast cells without cytotoxicity after the methodology. After four weeks, the decrease of OVA-specific IgE level, decrease of histamine and tryptase level in serum, and then the decrease of the levels of T helper type 2 (Th2) cell-derived cytokines interleukin- (IL-) 4 and IL-13 in the splenocyte were observed. In a histological analysis for lung, baicalein excellently reduced eosinophil infiltration with the inhibition of characteristic lesions and inflammation including OVA-induced necrosis, numbers of inflammatory cells, and pulmonary edema. Therefore, these results showed that baicalein had excellent efficacy in the antiallergic activity.

Experiments are presented herein that demonstrate the capacity to stimulate human peripheral mononuclear cells to synthesize and secrete significant quantities of IgE molecules in vitro by exposure to appropriate concentrations of 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-protein conjugates, pokeweed mitogen (PWM), or a combination of DNP-proteins and PWM. Cultures stimulated in this fashion synthesize increased quantities of both total IgE and DNP-specific IgE antibody molecules. This in vitro human IgE antibody system should provide a useful tool for further exploration of regulatory control of IgE responses in both normal humans and those manifesting various forms of IgE-mediated allergic disorders.
