Treatment of Osteoporosis
The anthraquinone, tannin, sesquiterpene and other substances contained in icariin can promote the formation and activation of osteoblasts and alleviate osteoporosis. In addition, icariin can also inhibit the apoptosis of osteoblasts, promote bone formation and reduce bone absorption. Mature osteoblasts can secrete a large number of cytokines, which are used to prevent the maturation, differentiation and fusion of osteoclasts, promote the apoptosis of osteoclasts, and achieve the purpose of treating osteoporosis.
Good for Reproductive System
Icariin contains flavonoids, lignans, phenolic glycosides, alkaloids, polysaccharides, volatile oil and other components, which can promote the function of the reproductive system and increase the weight of ovary, uterus and pituitary gland.Some experiments have proved that icariin, the main component of Epimedium, can significantly promote the development of epididymis and seminal vesicle gland in young mice, and Epimedium has the same effect as male hormone.
Antitumor
Previous studies have found that icariin has a significant anti-tumor effect, which can play a role by promoting the early apoptosis of solid tumor cells and leading to tumor tissue necrosis; Icariin can induce differentiation and inhibit proliferation of leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo, and it can produce obvious synergistic effect when combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA); Icariin inhibits the adhesion, migration and invasion of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901, increases the activity of intracellular protein kinase A, and thus plays a role in reversing its malignant phenotype. Therefore, the total flavonoids of Epimedium can induce the apoptosis and differentiation of tumor cells and inhibit the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.
Enhance Immune Function
As the central and important peripheral immune organs, the thymus and spleen play an important role in the regulation of immune function. Previous studies have found that icariin has immune activation effect on thymus, and can promote the expression of IL-3 mRNA, IL-6 mRNA 75] and IL-2 mRNA in mouse spleen cells; Icariin can enhance the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages in mice, and can restore the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages in mice damaged by cyclophosphamide or ionizing radiation to normal level; Icariin and its intestinal metabolites have a specific regulatory effect on the production of various inflammatory cytokines secreted by human histiocytoma THP-1 cells. The exact mechanism remains to be further explored.
Bacteriostatic, Anti-inflammatory and Antiviral
It is reported that icariin has a strong inhibitory effect on six common food-contaminating bacteria, including Saccharomyces Hansoniana, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Penicillium and Aspergillus niger, and icariin still has a strong antibacterial effect after 15 min of high temperature treatment at 80 ℃, 100 ℃ and 121 ℃ respectively, and there is no obvious change compared with the samples without high temperature treatment.
