Daidzein
Daidzein (CAS 486-66-8) is an isoflavone compound derived from soybeans, structurally classified as a phytoestrogen with structural similarity to endogenous estrogen. It has been widely investigated for its potential in biomedical research, particularly in oncology and cell biology studies. Daidzein exhibits anticancer-related biological activity, possibly via modulation of hormonal signaling pathways and interference with cell cycle progression, as exemplified by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase in cultured mammalian cells. Additionally, it demonstrates antioxidant properties, providing protective effects against oxidative stress-mediated cell injury, such as hepatic cellular damage induced by chemical carcinogens.
