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