icaritin

Icaritin (Anhydroicaritin) has hormone regulation activity and cardiovascular function improvement activity. Icaritin has anticancer activity, can induce S phase arrest and apoptosis, inhibit ENKL cell proliferation. Icaritin has anti-multiple myeloma activity, mainly mediated by inhibiting IL-6 JAK2 STAT3 signaling. Icaritin at low concentration (4 or 8 μMol L) can promote rat chondrocyte proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, while the effect of Icaritin on rat chondrocyte at high concentration was reversed.

Icaritin-3-O-rhamnoside (compound 20) is a flavonoid compound that exhibits DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC50=227.9 μM).

1. β-Anhydroicaritin exhibits immunosuppressive effect on the mouse macrophages stimulated by LPS. 2. β-Anhydroicaritin phytosomes can inhibit enhanced bone turnover induced by ovariectomy, improve BMD the biomechanical properties of vertebrae, without any stimulation on uterus. 3. β-Anhydroicaritin possesses significant protective effects on the zymosan-induced peritonitis mice, which might be associated with the regulation of Ca(2+); influx in macrophages and iNOS expression.
