Description

Glycitein is a soybean (yellow cultivar) isoflavonoid; used in combination with other isoflavonoids such as genistein and daidzein to study apoptosis and anti-oxidation processes.


Solid


Glycitein is a methoxyisoflavone that is isoflavone substituted by a methoxy group at position 6 and hydroxy groups at positions 7 and 4'. It has been isolated from the mycelia of the fungus Cordyceps sinensis. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a phytoestrogen and a fungal metabolite. It is a methoxyisoflavone and a 7-hydroxyisoflavone. It derives from an isoflavone.

Drug Information

Compounds derived from plants, primarily ISOFLAVONES that mimic or modulate endogenous estrogens, usually by binding to ESTROGEN RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Phytoestrogens.)

Glycitein has known human metabolites that include (2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-4-oxochromen-7-yl]oxyoxane-2-carboxylic acid.

7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one
