Isoflavene

Glabrene
2-Methoxyjudaicin
Haginin D

Isoflavenes are a type of isoflavonoids.

Examples

  • Glabrene, found in the roots of liquorice, is also a xenoestrogen.[1]
  • 2-Methoxyjudaicin found in the roots of Cicer bijugum[2]
  • Haginin D
  • Idronoxil, also known as phenoxodiol, which is used for anticancer purposes.[3]
