Abstract:
Epimedii Folium, a famous traditional Chinese medicine made of dried leaves of Epimedium brevicomu, E. pubescens, E. sagittatum or E. koreanum, has been applied in China for several thousand years as a medicine. It has the function of reinforcing kidney Yang, strengthening muscles and bones and dispelling rheumatism. Modern studies have shown that baohuoside Ⅰ has a low content in Herba Epimedii, but it has a wide range of pharmacological effects, such as anti-osteoporosis, anti-tumor, improving cognitive dysfunction, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury protection, and neuroprotection. More and more attention has been paid to the preparation methods and pharmacological effects of baohuoside Ⅰ due to its many biological activities and pharmacological effects. In this present research, in order to provide references for the better mass preparation and rational exploitation of baohuoside Ⅰ, we summarized and sorted out the preparation methods and pharmacological effects of baohuoside Ⅰ which were published in recent years.
