Highly efficient bioconversion of icariin to icaritin by whole-cell catalysis

Abstract Background Icaritin is an aglycone of flavonoid glycosides from Herba Epimedii. It has good performance in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in clinical trials. However, the natural icaritin content of Herba Epimedii is very low. At present, the icaritin is mainly prepared from flav...
