A new HPLC method has been developed for analysis of Icariine in four Chinese patent medicines. The symmetric peak of Icariine and good resolution were gotten, when ODS was used as analytical column (30 degrees C) MeOH-KH2PO4 (pH = 2.7, adjusted with H3PO4) (57:43) as a mobile phase; the detective wavelength was 268 nm. The contents of Icariine in Bushen-qiangshen-wan, Guiling-ji, Zhuang-gu-guanjie-wan and Qianliening-chongji were 0.105, 0.0995, 0.0566 and 0.313% respectively.

To investigate the effect of icariin (ICA) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its autophagy/apoptosis mechanism in HCC. The anti-HCC mechanism of ICA was investigated using HCC cells treated with 20 µmol/L ICA. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using CCK-8 and colony formation assays, respectively, while TUNEL staining evaluated anti-apoptotic effects.

Background: Increased icariin content during the harvesting period is one of the factors limiting the quality improvement of Epimedium sagittatum, and there is currently a lack of scientific and effective biotechnological measures.
Results: In this study, we carried out experiments involving spraying different concentrations (0 µmol·L as control group, 500 µmol·L, 1000 µmol·L and 1500 µmol·L) of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) solution on E. sagittatum leaves.

The repair process of bone tissue includes the early inflammatory response period and the late tissue repair period. It has been widely approved to be beneficial to the repair of bone injury by procedurally inhibiting the inflammatory response in the early stage and promoting bone regeneration in the late stage. In this study, the nano-hydroxyapatite/Poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) (n-HA/PGCL) scaffold loaded with icariin was fabricated by fused deposition modeling technique, and the quercetin-loaded GelMA was further filled into the scaffold pores via light-curing methods to form a biphasic scaffold loaded with dual molecules (PHI + GQ scaffold).

The low bioavailability of insoluble flavonoids in the total flavonoids of Epimedium brevicornu Maxim. (TFE) severely hindered its clinical efficacy exertion. This research attempted to evaluate the promoting effects of pharmaceutical strategies, including nanosuspensions (NS), cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (CD), and solid dispersions (SD), on the oral absorption of active components in TFE.
