Flavonoid. Racemic mixture. Urinary metabolite of daidzein. Inhibits 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced neoplastic cell transformation by targeting the MEK/ERK/p90RSK/activator protein-1 signalling pathway. Shows positive effects on the incidence of prostate cancer and physiological changes after menopause. Functions as a DHT blocker. Preferentially activates estrogen receptor β (ERβ).
