CAS 574-12-9: Isoflavone

Isoflavone - 98% is a highly purified chemical compound from the class of phytoestrogens, which is naturally sourced from legumes, particularly soybeans. It exhibits a structural similarity to estrogen, which allows it to modulate estrogen receptors in the body. This capability enables it to exert both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects depending on the physiological environment. The primary mode of action of Isoflavone - 98% involves the binding to estrogen receptors, where it can either mimic or modulate the activity of endogenous estrogens. This action is especially significant in tissues sensitive to estrogen, such as bone, cardiovascular system, and the reproductive system. Additionally, it exhibits antioxidant properties that contribute to its biological effects. The applications of Isoflavone - 98% are extensive, particularly in exploring therapeutic potentials in hormone-related conditions such as menopausal symptoms, bone health, and cardiovascular support. Researchers are also investigating its role in cancer prevention, especially breast and prostate cancer, owing to its ability to influence cell proliferation pathways. The efficacy and safety profile of Isoflavone - 98% make it a subject of continuous scientific interest, focusing on its impact on human health and disease mitigation.

Isoflavones are a type of plant-derived phytoestrogen that is found in high concentrations in soybeans. Isoflavones have been shown to inhibit the activity of detoxification enzymes, thereby reducing the amount of toxic substances such as drugs or environmental pollutants that are metabolized by these enzymes. Isoflavones can also reduce the severity and duration of infectious diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis, through their ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Isoflavones have also been shown to possess antiinflammatory activity - they are able to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis through their hydroxyl group which binds to the same site on cyclooxygenase as aspirin (acetate extract). The optimum concentration for isoflavone has been shown to be around 40%.

Isoflavones possess antioxidant properties and antipromotional effects.
