Functions and action mechanisms of flavonoids genistein and icariin in regulating bone remodeling.  

METHODS AND RESULTS:

Icariin, a prenylated flavonol glycoside isolated from Epimedium herb, stimulates osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and inhibits bone resorption activity of osteoclasts. Icariin, whose metabolites include Icariside I, Icariside II, icaritin, and desmethylicaritin, has no estrogenic activity. However, icariin is more potent than genistein in promoting osteogenic differentiation and maturation of osteoblasts. The existence of a prenyl group on C-8 of icariin molecular structure has been suggested to be the reason why icariin is more potent than genistein in osteogenic activity. 

CONCLUSIONS:

Thus, the prenylflavonoids may represent a class of flavonoids with a higher osteogenic activity.
