Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Icaritin is a component of Epimedium flavonoid isolated from Herba Epimedii, which enhances osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) while it inhibits adipogenic differentiation of MSCs by inhibiting PPAR-g pathway. Icaritin has no effect on MSCs proliferation. Also, icaritin potently inhibits chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and breast cancer cells proliferation most likely by modulation of MAPK/ERK/JNK and JAK2/STAT3 /AKT signaling. As other flavonoids, icaritin may exert estrogen-like activities. |
