Skullcap (Scutellaria) catalogs often emphasize glucuronides such as scutellarin. The aglycone scutellarein (CAS 529-53-3) is the related flavone buyers request when they need the non-glycoside structure for analytical or formulation research supply.
Short technical introduction
Scutellarein is a flavone (5,6,7,4′-tetrahydroxyflavone). It is chemically related to scutellarin (scutellarein 7-O-glucuronide), but the two have different CAS numbers and should be purchased as distinct articles.

FAQ
What is the difference between scutellarein and scutellarin?
Scutellarein is the flavone aglycone (CAS 529-53-3). Scutellarin is a glycoside/glucuronide derivative with a different CAS—do not substitute names on the PO.
Which plant is this from?
It is associated with Scutellaria (skullcap) botanicals. Request species declaration when your quality system needs it.
Is this a standardized extract?
This CAS entry is for scutellarein as a named compound. Standardized Scutellaria extracts are different commercial items.
