Biotransformation of major flavonoid glycosides in herb epimedii by the fungus Cunninghamella blakesleana
摘要:
Biotransformation of icariin (1), epimedin C (2), epimedoside A (3), epimedin A (4) and epimidin B (5), five major components of E. koreanum, were performed by using Cunninghamella blakesleana. And they could be metabolized efficiently to icariside II (1a), 2 ''-O-rhamnosylikarisoside II (2a), epimedoside b (3a), baohuoside VII (4a) and sagittatoside B (5a) with high yields of 95.1%, 97.7%, 93.7%, 95.8% and 96.4%, respectively. And these transformed products as major forms of herb epimedii in vivo exhibited the more significant anti-osteoporosis activities. Our method could be applied for enriching these rare flavonoids in herb epimedii, for further development of anti-osteoporosis medicines or functional foods. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
