Three flavonoids were isolated from Epimedium koreanum and identified as quercetin(1), $anhydroicaritin-3-O-{\alpha}-rhamnoside(2)$ and icariin(3) by spectroscopic methods. The former two compounds are the first isolation from this plant.

To improve industrial scale extraction method for extraction of icariin from Epimedium koreanum Nakai, the yields under different extracting conditions such as solvent, temperature, duration and solvent to plant material weight ratio were compared. Regarding extracting solution, highest extracts and icariin yield could be achieved when 10% EtOH was used. In case of plant material to extracting solvent ratio, no significant differences could be observed from 1/10 to 1/50, indicating 1/10 was the most efficient. Extracting temperature significantly affected extracts and icariin yields in that 9$0^{\circ}C$ increased the collected extracts and icariin contents up to 29.6% and 0.76%, respectively, compared to 27.2%, 0.33% at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The yield of extracts was less dependent upon extracting temperature compared to icariin yield. Regarding extraction time, 4 hr and 6 hr resulted in high extracts and icariin yield, respectively. We found extracting Epimedium koreanum Nakai in 10 times volume of 10% EtOH for 4 and 6 hr at 9$0^{\circ}C$ seem to be relatively efficient methods for extracts and icariin, respectively.

음양곽(Epimedium koreanum N.)의 methanol 추출물을 각종 식용유지에 첨가하여 $75^{\circ}C$에서 저장하면서 과산화물가의 변화를 측정하므로서 항산화성을 검토하였던 바 유지의 종류에 따라 효력에 차이를 나타내었고 lard와 corn oil에 대한 항산화 효과가 인정되었으며, 특히 lard에 대하여는 항산화 효과가 켰으며 첨가농도에 따라 효과가 증대되었다. 음양곽 추출물을 $180^{\circ}C$에서 120분간 가열하였을 때에도 66% 이상의 항산화성이 잔존하였으나 대두유에 첨가하여 광산화에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 자외선 조사에 의하여 급격히 산화가 촉진되었다. 음양곽 methanol 추출물 중의 유효 항산화 성분은 tocopherol류와 flavonoid류로 추정되었으며 ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$ and ${\delta}-tocopherol$의 함량은 각각 21.61, 1.48, 5.50 및 3.75 mg%이었다.

This study was designed to investigate the contents of icariin during ripening of Epimedium koreanum with sugar and Soju (25, 30, and 35% alcohol contents) using a homemade method. Contents of icariin of Epimedium wine were examined using high performance liquid chromatography. Icariin levels in Epimedium wine increased during the first 3 days of storage; after 6 days, icariin contents decreased gradually until 30 days. Contents of icariin in Epimedium wine by storage temperature (5 and $20^{\circ}C$) were not different during storage. After 30 days, icaiin was not detected in all tested Epimedium wines. Epimedium wines were assessed for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and (ABTS) radical scavenging activity. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities increased in early storage periods, however, after 6 or 9 days, activities decreased gradually.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the effects of major constituents of Epimedium koreanum Nakai (Icariin, epimedium A, epimedium B, and epimedium C) on melanin synthesis. Methods : We measured melanin contents, tyrosinase activity, and expression of Rab27a in B16F10 cells cultured with Epimedium koreanum Nakai ethanol extract (EKN) and their major constituents. After treatment with H89 and dibutyryl cAMP, which inhibit or promote the activation of PKA, we observed changes in melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity stimulated by EKN. Results : Among them, EKN and icariin enhanced tyrosinase activity and melanin contents. We confirmed that EKN augmented melanin synthesis via cAMP/PKA pathway. Icariin-induced tyrosinase activity and melanin content were attenuated by PKA inhibitor H89, while melanogenic effect of icariin was further augmented by cAMP analog, dbc AMP. However, icariin did not affect the expression of small GTPase Rab27a involved in melanosome transport. Conclusions : These results suggest that icariin promotes melanogenesis through cAMP/PKA pathway but does not affect small GTPase Rab27a.

As inhibitors of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes can prevent hyperglycemia that is known to cause many macrovascular complications, they may prove a useful adjunct to hypocaloric diets in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Inhibitory activities of two hundred and fifteen kinds of medicinal herb extracts against $\alpha$-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) and $\alpha$-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) have been investigated in vitro. Adenophora triphylla, Aneilema keisak, and Morus bombysis significantly suppressed rat intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase activity iu vitro. Porcine pancreatic amylase was efficiently inhibited by methanol extracts of Epimedium koreanum, Campsis grandiflora and Salvia plebeia. Methanol extract of Epimedium koreanum among the medicinal herbs tested showed the strongest inhibitory activity against porcine pancreatic $\alpha$-amylase with 0.1 mg/ML of $IC_{50}$/. The herb extract also improved glucose tolerance in ICR mice when loaded with 0.9 g soluble starch per kg body weight. Taken together, Epimedium koreanum merits further evaluation as a therapeutic measure.

Ten flavonol glycosides, 3,4,5-trihydroxy-8-prenylflavone 7-O-[${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}2$)-${\beta}$-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 ${\mu}g$/mL and 88.2 and 90.5 ${\mu}M$, respectively.

척수감각신경절세포에 대한 산소자유기의 신경독성효과에 대한 기전을 규명하기 위하여 여러 농도의 Glucose Oxidase(GO)를 배양 척수 감각신경절세포에 처리한 후 GO의 독성효과를 분석하였으며 또한 GO에 의하여 유발된 신경독성에 대한 음양곽(Epimedium Koreanum Nakai)의 방어효과를 MTT assay법에 의하여 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. GO는 신경세포에 처리한 농도와 시간에 비례하여 세포의 생존율을 유의하게 감소시켰으며, 또한 음양곽이 GO의 독성효과를 효과적으로 방어하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 산소자유기인 GO는 생쥐의 배양 척수감각신경절세포에 독성을 나타냈으며 음양곽과 같은 한약추출물이 GO의 독성을 방어하는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
