epimedium acuminatum/tyrosine

Flavonoids, the active components of Epimedii Genus, have been demonstrated to protect against osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and rheumatoid arthritis. The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of total flavonoid (TF) fraction of Epimedium koreanum Nakai on

Although the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as gefitinib, have shown promising therapeutic efficacy in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR activating mutation, development of acquired resistance is almost inevitable. We investigated

The therapeutic properties of Epimediumkoreanum are presumed to be due to the flavonoid component icariin, which has been reported to have broad pharmacological potential and has demonstrated anti-diabetic, anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-tumor, and hepatoprotective activities. Considering these

The effects of icariin (ICA), a major constituent of flavonoids from the Chinese medical herb Epimedium brevicornum Maxim, on spatial memory performances and expressions of hippocampus brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine kinase TrkB (tropomyosin receptor kinase B) were investigated

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to determine anti-cancer effect of Icariside II purified from the root of Epimedium koreanum Nakai on human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line U937. RESULTS Icariside II blocked the growth U937 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In this

BACKGROUND Epimedium sagittatum is a traditional Chinese herb normally which is used to treat the osteoporosis, cardiovascular dysfunction, and to improve neurological and sexual function in China, Korea and Japan. Icariin is the major active ingredient in Epimedium sagittatum. In the present

OBJECTIVE Icariside II (ICS II) is an active component from Epimedium brevicornum, a Chinese medicine extensively used in China. Our previous study has proved that ICS II protects against learning and memory impairments and neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus induced by beta-amyloid25-35 (Aβ25-35)
