About horny goat weed, Epidemium, and its medical and sexual use
Botanical information
Botanical Names differ according to what exact
species of epidemium that is used: 1. Epimedium koreanum Nakai; 2. Epimedium
sagittatum (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim.; 3. Epimedium brevicornum Maxim.; 4.
Epimedium pubescens Maxim. Barrenwort, Herba Epimedii, Horny Goat Weed, Japanese
Epimedium, Xian Ling Pi, Yin Yang Huo. Epimedium acuminatum; Epimedium
grandiflorum; Epimedium wushanese, and other Epimedium species.
Natively one finds Epidemium variants mainly in China, in some other Aian areas and to some extent in the Mediterranean area. The green parts of the plants last for one season, for some species a year, and for just a few species several years. The flowers are symmetrical with four of each part in the flower.
The flowers have four small outer greenish sepals which often fall off when the flower opens. Inside these are four other brigntly colored sepals that look like petals. More inside are the true, often small, but complicated shaped petals, and with a nectar-producing spur. There are four stamens. Also the style is four-fold with four stigmas and four-fold ovary.
Varying according to species there are one or several thightly assambled stems. Some species have only one leaf at the base of the stem, while others have several of them along the stem. The leaves are typically compunded with three leaflets with spiny margines.
Epidemium belongs to the family Berberidaceae. Source of warliest record is Haiyao Bencao.

How the plant is prepared
Part Used & Method for Pharmaceutical Preparations : The aerial part of the herb
is gathered in spring and autumn, dried in the sun and cut into pieces.
The medical effects of epidemium
Hornry Goat Weed increases energy, libido, sperm production, stimulates the
sensory nerves and increases sexual desire. In addition, research has
shown that Horny Goat Weed has anti-fatigue effects and helps prevents adrenal
exhaustion. The herb has also been traditionally used for liver and kidney
tonification.
Horny Goat Weed`s aphrodisiac effects has been
verified in both animal and human research. Mice treated with a Horny Goat Weed
preparation produced "apparent effects on the improvement of sexuality." It was
also shown to improve sperm producing capability. Since Horny Goat Weed has been
traditionally used for kidney disease, it's interesting that research has
demonstrated a sexual potentiation effect and improved quality of life in
patients with chronic renal failure who were given Horny Goat Weed.
Animal studies using epimedium have shown a
reduction in bone breakdown, an increase in muscle mass, and a loss of body
fat-each of which may be linked to the observed return of abnormal cortisol
levels back to normal values (and rhythm). In a series of studies conducted in
humans and animals by Chinese researchers, immune-system function was directly
suppressed and bone loss was accelerated, by using high-dose synthetic cortisol
(glucocorticoid drugs). Subsequent administration of epimedium extract reduced
blood levels of cortisol and improved immune immune-system function (in the
humans) and slowed bone loss and strengthened bones (in the animals).
Epidemium as further been used for treatment of
impotence, involuntary ejaculation, weak
back and knees, arthralgia, mental and physical fatigue, memory loss,
hypertension, coronary heart disease, bronchitis, chronic hepatitis, polio,
chronic leukopenia, viral myocarditis.
Research has shown that Horny Goat Weed
significantly increases testosterone in mice. This certainly appears to be one
of the herb's mechanism of action, although Horny Goat Weed may have more than
one. For example, it has been established that sexual arousal is linked to the
activity of cholinergic neurotransmitters. However, an enzyme called
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inactivates cholinergic neurotransmitters within
1/500 of a second. As it turns out, research shows that Horny Goat Weed is
capable of inhibiting AChE. Such an inhibition may support higher levels of the
key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. It also seems
to restore production of thyroid hormones when these are in defiency.
Traditional use
Horny Goat Weed is a traditional botanical medicine used in China and Japan.
Although this herb (which also goes by the names Yin Yang Huo, Inyokaku, and
Herba Epimedii) has a history of traditional use for disorders of the kidneys,
joints, liver, back and knees, its principle use is as an aphrodisiac.
The mechanism of the sexual action
of epidemium
The active ingredient in Epimedium is icariin,
which can be found in standardized extracts from 5% up to 60% consentration.
Icariin seems to increase the leverl of nitrix
oxide in tissues releasing this compound, and thus it increases the elevel of
this compound in the penile and genital tissues of men. Nitric oxide relaxes
smooth muscles in the blood vessels leading blood to the penis and in the
network of blood vessels within the penis.
This causes the penis to be filled with blood and engorge.
There has been done scientific experments where
icariin has been injected into the penile tissues in rats, and these experiments
have demonstrated the relaxation of smooth muscles within the penis and an
increased penile blood pressure.
Icariin inhibits the activity of PFE5. PFE5 is an enzyne that breaks down
the compound cGMF. Thus the action of icariin increases the amount of cGMF in
the penile tissue and other tissues. cGNF is a tool used in the production of
nitric oxide. Therefore Icariin wil increase the amount of nitric oxide in the
penile tissues.

About PFE5 ( PFE-5 ) or cGMP
specific phosphodiesterase type 5
This is an enzyme in the
phosphodiesterase class. It is found in various tissues, most prominently the
corpus cavernosum and the retina.
The phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozymes, found in several tissues including the rod
and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina, belong to a large family of cyclic
nucleotide PDEs that catalyze cAMP and cGMP hydrolysis.
The interest in PDEs as molecular targets of drug action has grown with the
development of isozyme-selective PDE inhibitors that offer potent inhibition of
selected isozymes without the side effects attributed to nonselective inhibitors
such as theophylline.
A PDE5 inhibitor that is significantly more potent and selective than zaprinast
(an early PDE5 inhibitor) and comparable in its PDE inhibitory properties to
sildenafil (Viagra, 1998), a drug recently approved for the treatment of male
erectile dysfunction.
PDE5 is an enzyme that accepts cGMP and breaks it down. The kinetics of binding
[3H]sildenafil and [3H]tadalafil to the catalytic site of PDE5.
Both inhibitors bind with high affinity and specificity, and cGMP binding to the
allosteric sites stimulates binding of PDE5 inhibitors at the catalytic site.
The kinetics of inhibitor binding and inhibition of catalysis imply the
existence of two PDE5 conformers, and results of native gel electrophoresis
reveal that PDE5 exists in two apparently distinct conformations, i.e., an
extended conformer and a more compact conformer.
PDE5 activity is modulated by a rapidly reversible redox switch. Chemical
reduction of PDE5 relieves autoinhibition of enzyme functions; allosteric
cGMP-binding activity is increased 10-fold, and catalytic activity is increased
~3-fold. The redox effect on allosteric cGMP-binding occurs in the isolated
regulatory domain. A change in the state of reduction of PDE5 or the isolated
regulatory domain is associated with an apparent conformational change similar
to that caused by phosphorylation.
PDE5 is expressed in human colonic cells and in intestinal tissue and its
activity is regulated by intracellular cGMP levels in these cells that increase
on GCC activation. This presumably occurs through binding of cGMP to the GAF
domains in the N-terminus of PDE5, resulting in allosteric activation of the
enzyme.
The mechanism of action of E4021 on both the nonactivated and activated forms of
rod PDE6 because both states are relevant to understanding how PDE5-selective
inhibitors may alter signal transduction pathways in photoreceptor cells.
PDE5-selective inhibitors may show good discrimination of PDE5 from most other
PDE isoforms.
cGMP or Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate
Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a cyclic nucleotide derived from guanosine triphosphate (GTP). cGMP acts as a second messenger much like cyclic AMP, most notably by activating intracellular protein kinases in response to the binding of membrane-impermeable peptide hormones to the external cell surface.
cGMP synthesis is catalyzed by guanylate cyclase (GC), which converts GTP to cGMP. Membrane-bound GC is activated by peptide hormones such as the atrial natriuretic factor, while soluble GC is typically activated by nitric oxide to stimulate cGMP synthesis.
cGMP is a common regulator of ion channel conductance, glycogenolysis, and cellular apoptosis. It also relaxes smooth muscle tissues. In blood vessels, relaxation of vascular smooth muscles lead to vasodilation and increased blood flow.
cGMP is a secondary messenger in phototransduction in the eye. In the photoreceptors (rods and cones) of the human eye, the absence of light activates phosphodiesterase, which upregulates cGMP by catalyzing its conversion from guanosine monophosphate (GMP). cGMP opens sodium ion channels, which leads to the depolarization of the photoreceptor's plasma membrane, which opens calcium ion channels, which leads to the release of neurotransmitters by the photoreceptor cell, which in turn signals other cells inbedded in the retina and leads to the transfer of information from the eye to the brain and vision.
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE 1-6) breakes down cGMP by hydrolyzing cGMP into 5'-GMP.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors prevent the breaksown of cGMP, thereby enhancing and/or prolonging its effects. For example, Sildenafil (Viagra) enhances the vasodilatory effects of cGMP within the corpus cavernosum by inhibiting PDE 5 (or PDE V). This is used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
