Stability Light Sensitive Applications Exhibits specific inhibitory activity against tyrosine kinases,including autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (IC50 - 2.6uM). Also inhibits other protein kinases through competitive inhibition of ATP. Inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces tumor cell differentiation. Produces cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in Jurat T-leukemia cells. However, it prevents anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody-induced thymic apoptosis. Genistein also inhibits topoisomerase II activity in vitro. Genistein has also been shown to inhibit the action of GABA on recombinant GABAA receptors 2. uv(max)ethanol: 262.5 nm (e= 138). moderately sol. in hot alcohol References Akiyama, T., et al.: J.

M01798 - Genistein

Genistein is a naturally occurring isoflavone, which is derived primarily from soy products and other legumes. Its chemical structure allows it to mimic the function of 17-beta-estradiol, a form of estrogen, by binding to estrogen receptors. This selective binding primarily targets estrogen receptor beta, leading to a range of biological effects. Moreover, Genistein exhibits antioxidant properties by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting oxidative stress. The uses and applications of Genistein are vast and varied within the scientific community. It is extensively studied for its potential benefits in cancer research, particularly in reducing the risk of hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. Additionally, its role in modulating bone metabolism makes it a compound of interest in osteoporosis studies. Genistein's ability to influence cellular processes via signal transduction pathways also underlines its importance in cardiovascular health research, where it may contribute to improved vascular function and reduced cholesterol levels. As a phytoestrogen, Genistein's impact on menopausal symptoms and its potential neuroprotective effects are further areas of active investigation.
