Epimedium pubescens
Epimedium à feuilles velues du centre de la Chine, utilisé en MTC et en médecine populaire chinoise comme tonique yang.
Epimedium pubescens, a hairy-leaved epimedium native to central China, is traditionally used in TCM as a yang tonic for kidney deficiency and in Sichuan folk medicine for joint pain and impotence. Modern research focuses on its active compounds, including icariin, epimedins, and baohuoside I, which support bone density, sexual health, and neuroprotection, though evidence is limited (Level C).
Icariin, the primary flavonol glycoside, acts as a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, increasing cGMP levels and enhancing nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation, which supports erectile function. It also exhibits phytoestrogenic activity by binding to estrogen receptors (ERα/ERβ), potentially modulating bone metabolism and hormone-sensitive pathways. Additionally, epimedins and baohuoside I inhibit osteoclast differentiation via RANKL/NF-κB signaling and reduce inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6), contributing to anti-rheumatic and neuroprotective effects.
