An icariside compound as shown in Formula I wherein the compound is a natural chemical component in the traditional Chinese herbal epimedium or a chemically modified or a totally synthetic product based on the natural component. The compound can be used for preparing pharmaceuticals, health care products, cosmetic and skin care products and the like for improvement of immunity in a human body.
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.
