A new method for quantitative determination of icariin in Epimedii Herba by high performance liquid chromatography was established. A reversed-phase system with $a\;{\mu}Bondapak\;C_{18}$ column using methanol in water(15% to 70%, gradient elution) as a mobile phase was developed. Icariin and spinosin as an internal reference were detected at 350 nm and the analysis was successfully carried out within 30 min.

To know the anti-oxidative effect of Epimedii Herba (Berberidaceae), the methanol extract of this plant was investigated by using a Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The methanol extract of this plant showed relatively significant DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Epimedii Herba (EHE), which showed the most potent DPPH radical scavenging and superoxide quenching activities, was tested on its effects on superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, intracellular ROS, and oxidative stress tolerance in Caenorhabditis elegans. Furthermore, in order to verify that regulation of stress-response genes is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of the EHE treated C. elegans, we checked SOD-3 expression using a transgenic strain. As a result, the EHE increased SOD and catalase activities of C. elegans, and reduced intracellular ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, EHE-treated CF1553 worms showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than that of non-treated controls.

In this study, quantitative and pattern recognition analyses for the quality evaluation of Herba Epimedii using HPLC was developed. For quantitative analysis, five major bioactive constituents, hyperin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin were determined. Analysis was carried out on Capcell pak $C_{18}$ column ($250{\time}4.6$ mm, 5 ${\mu}m$) with a mobile phase of mixture of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid, using UV detection at 270 nm. The linear behavior was observed over the investigated concentration range (2-50 ${\mu}g/mL;\;r_2\;>$ 0.99) for all analytes. The intraand inter-day precisions were lower than 4.3% (as a relative standard deviation, RSD) and accuracies between 95.1% and 104.4%. The HPLC analytical method for pattern recognition analysis was validated by repeated analysis of one reference sample. The RSD of intra- and inter-day variation of relative retention time (RRT) and relative peak area (RPA) of the 12 selected common peaks were below 0.8% and 4.7%, respectively. The developed methods were applied to analysis of twenty Herba Epimedii extract samples. Contents of hyperin, epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin were calculated to be 0$\sim$0.79, 0.69$\sim$1.91, 0.93$\sim$9.58, 0.65$\sim$3.05, and 2.43$\sim$11.8 mg/g dried plant. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that most samples were clustered together with the reference samples but several apart from the main cluster in the PC score plot, indicating differences in overall chemical composition between two clusters. The present study suggests that quantitative determination of marker compounds combined with pattern-recognition method can provide a comprehensive approach for the quality assessment of herbal medicines.

Purpose: This research aimed to study the effect of FAE(Ferment Artemisiae Argyi Folium and Epimedii Herba) on the mouse macrophage cell activity. Methods: Effect of FAE, which was fermented by Sacchromyces cerevisiae STV89, on cell viability, amount of $H_2O_2$ within cells, amount of NO was measured and compaperd by using mouse macrophage cells. Results: 1. Result of MTT assay conducted to observe the effect of FAE on the survival rate of mouse macrophage cells illustrated that, when FAE was proccessed for each concentration, there was no significant decrease of the survival rate. 2. FAE increased the amount of $H_2O_2$ within macrophage cells and increased inhibition of amount of $H_2O_2$ in macrophage induced by LPS. 3. FAE inhibited amount of NO in macrophage cells, and significantly inhibited increase of amount of NO in mcacrophage induced by LPS. Conclusion: FAE produced by Artemisiae Argyi Folium and Epimedii Herba did not induce the decrease of macrophage cell survival rate, increased amount of $H_2O_2$ within cells, and reduced amount of NO. FAE significantly increase by LPS, reduced the increase of amount of NO in macrophage induced by LPS. These results signify FAE has significant effect on immuno modulating activity of macrophage.

A simple and reliable reverse phase HPLC method was developed to determine pharmacologically active marker compounds of Epimedii Herba, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, and Polygalae Radix. The stability test of water-extracts of the three natural medicines has been evaluated for six months. However, no significant changes in the content of the marker compounds of each extract were observed during the time of investigation.
