Formononetin Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Formononetin (485-72-3) is a naturally occurring isoflavone isolated from Astragalus and other plants. Increases adipocyte thermogenesis by modulating PPARγ activity.1?Activates AMP-activated protein kinase/β-catenin signaling to inhibit adipogenesis.2?Accelerates wound repair by increasing expression of Egr-1 transcription factor.3?Potential cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic.4?Provides neuroprotection against traumatic brain injury by inhibition of neuroinflammation in a rat model.5

Chemical Properties

off-white powder

Uses

An isoflavone found in a variety of plants. When metabolized in the rumen this compound transforms into a potent estrogen.

Uses

Formononetin is an isoflavone found as one of the main plant estrogens in animal feed. When metabolized in the rumen this compound transforms into a potent estrogen.

Uses

Formononetin is an isoflavonoid phytoestrogenic compound found in soy-based foods and is the precursor of daidzein . It acts as an agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor with an EC50 value of 0.13 μM. Formononetin has been reported to possess antitumor and antiviral activity.

Definition

ChEBI: Formononetin is a member of the class of 7-hydroxyisoflavones that is 7-hydroxyisoflavone substituted by a methoxy group at position 4'. It has a role as a phytoestrogen and a plant metabolite. It is a member of 7-hydroxyisoflavones and a member of 4'-methoxyisoflavones. It is functionally related to a daidzein. It is a conjugate acid of a formononetin(1-).

General Description

Formononetin belongs to the isoflavones class of polyphenols.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Biochem/physiol Actions

Isoflavone found in red clover. Effective against Giardia lamblia infection, at least partially by inducing detachment of trophozoites from intestinal mucosa.
