? Daidzein , with CAS number of 486-66-8, can be called 4',7-dihydroxyisoflavone ; Cyproheptadine ; 4H-1-Benzopyran-4-one, 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)- ; 7-Hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-benzopyrone ; 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one ; 7,4-Dihydroxyisoflavone . Daidzein (CAS NO.486-66-8) is one of several known isoflavones, which are found in a number of plants and herbs like the Thai Kwao Krua or Pueraria Mirifica, but soybeans and soy products like tofu and textured vegetable protein are the primary food source. Soy isoflavones are a group of compounds found in and isolated from the soybean. Besides functioning as antioxidants, many isoflavones have been shown to interact with animal and human estrogen receptors, and are therefore known as phytoestrogens. Soy isoflavones also produce non-hormonal effects. |
| Biological Activity: | Analog of the phytoestrogen genistein (5,7-Dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one ). Blocks G 1 phase cell cycle progression and is an agonist at estrogen receptors. |
| Usage: | Inactive analog of Genistein (Cat. #G350000). Blocks the G1 phase of the cell cycle in Swiss 3T3 cells by inhibiting casein kinase II activity1. Daidzein has also been shown to inhibit the action of GABA on recombinant GABAA receptors2. uv max:25 |
