一般描述

Formononetin is an O-methylated isoflavone, a phytoestrogen. It can be found in many legumes, different species of clovers primarily in Trifolium pratense L. (red clovers), and one of the main flavonoids found in Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi).

應用

Formononetin has been used:
as a reference standard to study export of multiple metabolites from Crocus sativus stigma extracts using liquid chromatography-photodiode array-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-PDA-HRMS)as phytoestrogen-mimetic isoflavones to test its antioxidant effects in a biomimetic environment using chemiluminescence methodas an authentic standard to test the isoflavones content level in both wild type and transgenic Medicago truncatula plant using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)to test its effects as a potential Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-agonist on the restoration of skin barrier proteins for Atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment using different keratinocyte cell lines and human skin equivalent (HSE) model
