title: [Research on variation regularity of five main flavonoids contents in Epimedium and processed Epimedium].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To research on the variation regularity of the five main flavonoids contents in Epimedium and processed Epimedium.
  
  
  METHODS
  The contents of Epimedin A, Epimedin B, Epimedin C, Icariin and Baohuoside I in Epimedium and processed Epimedium were determined, respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were varieties in the contents of Epimedin A, Epimedin B, Epimedin C, Icariin and Baohuoside in Epimedium and processed Epimedium. There were different variety tendencies in different species and different batches.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The variety tendencies of the contents of five main flavonoids depend on the processing technology and the flavonoids proportion in Epimedium and processed Epimedium.
