Epimedium wushanense , the Wushan fairy wings, is a flowering plant species in the genus Epimedium.
Chemistry
E. wushanense contains a number of flavanoids. 37 compounds were characterized from the underground and aerial parts of the plant. Among them, 28 compounds were prenylflavonoids. The predominant flavonoid, epimedin C, [1] ranged from 1.4 to 5.1% in aerial parts and 1.0 to 2.8% in underground parts. [2] It also contains wushanicaritin and wushankaempferol. [3]
Seven flavonoids named diphylloside A, epimedoside A, epimedin C, icariin, epimedoside C, icarisoside A, desmethylanhydroicaritin, as well as oleanolic acid can be isolated from the roots. [4]
