Icaritin has hormone regulation activity and cardiovascular function improvement activity. Icaritin has anticancer activity, can induce S phase arrest and apoptosis, inhibit ENKL cell proliferation. Icaritin has anti-multiple myeloma activity, mainly mediated by inhibiting IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Icaritin at low concentration (4 or 8 μMol/L) can promote rat chondrocyte proliferation and inhibit cell apoptosis, while the effect of Icaritin on rat chondrocyte at high concentration was reversed.
