Flavonol glycosides from Epimedium sagittatum and their neurite outgrowth activity on PC12h cells

Planta Med. 2000 Aug;66(6):575-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2000-8611.

Abstract

The MeOH extract of Epimedium sagittatum was found to show neurite outgrowth activity on cultured PC12h cells. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract yielded six prenylated flavonol glycosides, ikarisoside A (1), icarisid II (2), epimedoside A (3), icariin (4), epimedin B (5), and epimedokoreanoside-I (6) as the active ingredients.
