Abstract: Baicalin is a kind of flavonoid component derived from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, the main active ingredient of the plant. It has a wide range of pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antiviral and antioxidant effects.Chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory mucosa, mainly chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma, are among the serious chronic diseases affecting human daily life. The pathogenesis is complex and the current therapeutic methods have certain limitations and adverse effects.The traditional Chinese medicine baicalin has the potential to be developed as a drug for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory mucosa because of its good anti-inflammatory effect and low toxic side effects.In this review, we summarize the anti-inflammatory mechanism of baicalin in chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory mucosa and provide theoretical basis for its clinical application in related diseases.

Key words: baicalin, chronic inflammation of respiratory mucosa, anti-inflammatory effect, research advances
