Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of glucose-containing scutellarein derivatives as neuroprotective agents based on metabolic mechanism of scutellarin in vivo

Based on metabolic mechanism of scutellarin in vivo that scutellarin could be hydrolyzed into scutellarein by β-glucuronide enzyme, some glucose-containing scutellarein derivatives were designed and synthesized through the introduction of glucose moiety at C-7 position of scutellarein via a glucosidic bond.
