General description

Icariin is a prenylated flavonol and the major bioactive compound found in Epimedium herb.[1]

Application

Icariin has been used:
  • in the preparation of topical treatment to determine its effects on the improvement of cutaneous wound healing in rats[2]
  • to test its analgesic effects on lower back pain (LBP) in rats[3]
  • as a potential treatment in osteoporosis condition in rats[4]
  • to study its effects on palmitate (PA)-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle C2C12 myotubes[5]
  • as a neuroprotective agent to study its effects on amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced neuronal insulin resistance in human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells[6]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Flavonoid glucoside derived from the the Epimedium plant genus. This pharmacologically active constituent or its derivatives have been shown to enhance bone formation, modulate multidrug resistance, enhance neuronal viability, stimulate angiogenesis, and exhibit antioxidant activity.
Icariin is a potent neuroprotective agent in neurodegenerative disorders and other disorders affecting the nervous system.[1] It elicits anti-aging properties in unfertilized oocytes against age-related damage.[7] Icariin exerts anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties aiding protection in chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated renal fibrosis in mouse model.[8] It also serves as an excellent antidiabetic[9] and anti-atherosclerotic agent.[10] Icariin is an excellent anti-cancer agent.[1]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
