We tried to find the anti-amnesic effect of the Scutellaria baicalens Georgia SBG ethanol extract and its major ingredients. The antioxidative effect of SBG on the mice model with memory impairment induced by chronic injection of D-galactose and sodium nitrate was studied. The Y-maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory function of mice. The activities of superoxide dismutase catalase and the content of malondialdehyde in brain tissue were used for the antioxidation activities. Neuropathological alteration and expression of bcl-2 protein were investigated in the hippocampus by immunohistochemical staining. ROS neuroinflammation and apoptosis related molecules expression such as Cox-2 iNOS procaspase-3 cleaved caspase-3 8 and 9 bcl-2 and bax protein and the products of iNOS and Cox-2 NO PGE2 were studied using LPS-activated Raw cells and microglia BV2 cells. The cognition of mice was significantly improved by the treatment of baicalein and 50 and 100 mg kg of SBG in Y-maze test. Both SBG groups showed strong antioxidation antiinflammation effects with significantly decreased iNOS and Cox-2 expression NO and PGE2 production increased bcl-2 and decreased bax and cleaved caspase-3 .
