Oral systemic exposure of six flavonoids in extract and isomers formed was reported.
Microbial and liver metabolism, and intestinal permeability varied with structure.
OG and wogonin were the highest glucuronide and aglycone, respectively, in vivo.
Microbial isomerization of BG and glucuronidation of baicalein formed BG 6-isomer.
A minor BG isomer might originate from microbial hydrolysis and demethylation of WG.
