Summary: | The aerial parts of Epimedium koreanum Nakai have been used to stimulate hormone secretion in treating impotence. Ten flavonol glycosides, 3,4,5-trihydroxy-8-prenylflavone 7-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1), hyperoside (2), icarisid Ⅱ (3), 2"-O-Rhamnosylicarisid Ⅱ (4), epimedin A (5), epimedin B (6), epimedin C (7), icariin (8), hexandraside E (9), and epimedoside A (10) were isolated from the an ethylacetate soluble extracts of the aerial parts of Epimedium koreanum Nakai through activity-monitord fractionation and isolation method. The structures of compounds 1 - 10 were elucidated by high resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and two dimentional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis. Compounds 1 and 4 showed potent antioxidant activity, with IC∧50 values of 19.7 and 11.5 ㎍/mL and 88.2 and 90.5 μM, respectively. |
