In view of special chemical structure

wide and prominent pharmacological activity

less toxicity and other characteristics of anhydroicaritin

it has indicated that anhydroicaritin has high security and application prospects. By referring the revent literature of preparation methods and pharmacological activity of anhydroicaritin

this paper will provides information to carry out the new preparation methods and new pharmacological activity of anhydroicaritin. Analyzing and summarizing the revent literature

we found that Epimedium brevicornu. has very low levels of degradation products of anhydroicaritin which is the degradation products of icariin

and anhydroicaritin has the effects of estrogen-like

regulation of immune

inflammatory

promoting myocardial cell regeneration and differentiation

promoting bone protection

promoting nerve cell differentiation

impotence

anti-liver injury and fibrosis delay

anti-abnormal proliferative

anti-tumor and blood sugar lowering

and do not find it has significant side effects. With finding the new efficacy of anhydroicaritin at home and abroad

anhydroicaritin has great demand in the international marketin the future. So efficient and environmentally friendly methods for the preparation of anhydroicaritin attract the widespread attention. But it lacks of systematic review and finishing of preparation method and pharmacological activity of anhydroicaritin. anhydroicaritin has stronger pharmacological activity than the icariin and icariside. As a new

low toxicity and efficient drugs

anhydroicaritin has broad application space to guide further extensive and deep research of anhydroicaritin. The author Summarized the latest development of the preparation methods and pharmacological activity of anhydroicaritin in recent years to provide adequate documentation of reference for preparation and rational exploitationfor of anhydroicaritin.
